Abstract
This paper examines the historical perspective of wildlife laws and policies in India, spanning the pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial eras, with a focus on India's rich wildlife heritage that faces numerous threats, like habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. The study highlights the effect of colonial policies on wildlife conservation and the evolution of legislation related to wildlife protection, including the Wild Birds and Game Protection Act of 1887 and the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. It also explores the impact of projects related to wildlife protection, such as Project Tiger and Project Elephant, and suggests ways to fill the gaps in our knowledge of wildlife history in India. The findings suggest the need to address issues such as habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict and recommend the use of modern technologies and community involvement in wildlife conservation efforts apart from the need for better documentation of wildlife history in India and the use of this knowledge to formulate informed conservation policies and practices. The successes and challenges of past and present wildlife conservation projects are highlighted and ways to protect and conserve India's valuable wildlife heritage for future generations are rerecommended.
