In India, Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) controls wildlife crimes. It is a statutory multi-disciplinary body, established by the Government of India under the Ministry of Environment and Forests, to combat organized wildlife crime in the country. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
Under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, this bureau is mandated to collect and collate intelligence related to organized wildlife crime activities and to disseminate the same to the State and other enforcement agencies for immediate action so as to apprehend the criminals. and establish a centralized wildlife crime data bank. Hence both statements are correct.
