The gangetic dolphin is India's national aquatic animal but frequently falls prey to illegal poaching. Gangetic river dolphins fall under Schedule I of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, and have been declared an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 This Act provides for the protection of the country’s wild animals, birds, and plant species, in order to ensure environmental and ecological security. Among other things, the Act lays down restrictions on hunting many animal species. The Act was last amended in the year 2006. The Act created six schedules which gave varying degrees of protection to classes of flora and fauna. Schedule I and Schedule II get absolute protection, and offences under these schedules attract the maximum penalties. Schedule 5 includes species that may be hunted.
