The draft third National Wildlife Action Plan (NWAP) 2017-2031 unveiled by the environment ministry accords special emphasis to rehabilitation of threatened species of wildlife while conserving their habitats which include inland aquatic, coastal and marine eco-systems has urged that drones, UAVs and "electronic eyes" be used to monitor protected areas to check poaching. The draft plan also calls for new regional forensic laboratories, a Special Tiger Protection Force, and setting up of special courts to deal with wildlife crime like poaching and smuggling.
The action plan also warns against the threat to endangered species from dogs and cats. The draft said a strategy must be developed "for managing free ranging domestic animals such as dogs, cats etc in and around wildlife habitats". It pointed to reports of dogs killing threatened species such as black necked cranes, red pandas and blue sheep in the Himalayas. Calling for priority action starting 2017, the action plan said the roads and railway ministries should be provided information on important wildlife, biodiversity and corridor connectivity values when projects are planned and "ecological solutions are adopted for infrastructure at this stage itself ".
