The Central Zoo Authority (CZA) is a statutory autonomous body functioning under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change<\/strong><\/a>, Government of India. It was established in 1992 under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, with the primary objective of enforcing minimum standards for the upkeep and healthcare of animals in Indian zoos. The Authority monitors zoo management across the country and extends technical as well as financial support when required. Importantly, every zoo in India must secure recognition from the CZA to operate legally. This recognition is granted after evaluating the zoo against prescribed parameters laid down in the Rules.<\/span><\/p>\n
