Dear All,
The State Governments through its various departments especially tourism department were planning to develop Dolphinarium in the state with main aim to attract tourism for commercial purpose with the intention of organizing dolphin show etc. As you all are aware that Gangetic Dolphin & snubfin dolphin are Scheduled 1 species under WLPA 1972, Ministry of Environment & Forest has decided not to allow establishment of dolphinarium in our country.
Very well and thoughtful decision indeed.
Please find attached a circular issued by MoEF in this regard dated 17.05.2013.
Regards
Shabdendu Pathak
