Even as amendments to the Wild Game Act (protection) of 1972, introduced by the government of Kerala, which enable to spend wild animals that have lost their way into human habitats, has launched a debate, and ayurvedic medicine in the state declares legal ways.
Previously, the government did not allow the burning of confiscated animal corners, deer antlers and ivory clacks for Crores Rupees, which are maintained in custody to the forest department. The amendment That Came Into Effect in 2023 Says That “Any Wild Animal Article, Trophy or Uncured Trophy, Or Meat Derived From Any Wild Animal, What Is and State Government or Central Government Property, As Case May Be, Under Sub-Sections (1) and (2) Shall Be Disposed of In the Following Manner, Namely – A) The Director, Wildlife Presernation, Or the Chief Wildlife Warden or Ana Ana Authorized, in Writing, by the Central Government or the State Govern as shown in the command.
Export value as well
Meanwhile, the officials of the Ayurvedic Medicine Organizer in India (Ammoi) say that “Bhasmam” or ashes from burnt tusks and deer is the main part of the production of Ayurvedic drugs, some of which also have export value. D. Ramanathan, General Secretary of AMMOI, says that the legal possibilities are being investigated from the ministry with regard to its lack of market.
However, forest department officials argue that under current circumstances it may not be legally possible to provide ash for the production of Ayurvedic drugs. According to the law, combustion will be carried out in the presence of a committee established by the main guardian of wild animals. An officer who is not under the rank of Deputy Conservator of the Forest, who has links to such assets, a representative of the local Gram Panchayat, a representative of the income department who is not under Tahsildar, and an expert in wild animals. The Committee shall present a report on the combustion to the main warden of wild animals in the period of 10 days.
