The Central <strong>Zoo</strong> Authority (CZA) was created by the Government of India through an amendment<br />
of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, in 1992. The main objective was to en<strong>for</strong>ce minimum standards<br />
and norms <strong>for</strong> upkeep and healthcare of animals in zoos and to restrain mushrooming of unplanned<br />
and ill conceived zoos that were cropping up as adjuncts to public parks, industrial complexes and<br />
wayside. The Central Government, in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 38A and subsection<br />
(1) of Section 38B of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, had constituted the Authority<br />
<strong>for</strong> the first time in February, 1992. The term of the Members of the Authority is fixed <strong>for</strong> three<br />
years. As of now, the Authority has been reconstituted six times. The term of the current Authority<br />
expires in September, 2010. The Minister of State <strong>for</strong> Environment & Forests (Forests& Wildlife)<br />
is the ex-officio Chairman of the CZA.<br />
