Explanation:

• The National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) is a “statutory board” constituted under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 (wildlife act). However, it is important to point out that the wildlife act, as originally enacted in 1972, did not provide for the NBWL. It was only through an amendment of the wildlife act in 20021 that the NBWL was constituted.
• It is a 47-member committee, headed by the Prime Minister and the minister of environment, forest and climate change (environment minister) as vice chairperson. In addition to offices and institutions directly involved in conservation and protection of wildlife, the NBWL also has the chief of army staff, defence secretary, expenditure secretary to Government of India as members. Further, the central government nominates 10 members who are eminent conservationists, ecologists and environmentalists.

Hence both statements are correct.
