schedule 1 isnt for necessarily endangered animals.
endengared is one of subtypes of threatened, quantifying the risk posed by a population of a species.
there are ways of determining whether a species is endangered.
these animals are not on cites 1 or in red book endangered list.
schedule 1 has different exceptions for allowing hunting, who can grant permission and different punishment.
endangered has nothing to do with the current population but the population trend.
i also want to point out there has been some controversy in classifying chinkara as endangered.
all im saying is that reporters have a duty to clarify facts.
cheers.

The general public doesn't give a damn. Us having airguns is bad enough for em. There is a very high percentage of people who believe what the media prints. So quibbling about the journalists facts isn't going to change anything. Thanks to Bolloywood now anyone with a gun is a bad guy. It takes the Rathore's of the world a lot of heroic effort to get the nation to view guns positively again. So journos are going to use what they can to sell magazines and a huge population will keep lapping it up.

Sent an article to them, but I am not sure if they will publish it. In todays India celebreties caught hunting make good scandlous news, worthy if reems of newsprint, but a viewpoint of naturalists and conservations is tow hoots for the press, the so called free and responsible fourth estate.
If private conservation methods are not followed India might as well see its wild animals only in zoos from 2015 onwards. The last Tiger will die in 2012.
Everyday forest wood is being stolen, every night a Tiger / Rhino or other wild animal is killed and our politicians only talk while the rest of the officialdom are wondering whether an air rifle requires a licence.
Behind all this somewhere a Jaspal Rana or Anjali Bhagwat or RS Rathore comes out like a Lotus in the slush. India a land of a million mutinies.
