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