In this paper, we have shifted focus on the role of the judiciary in conserving wildlife, particularly focusing on the Indian judiciary. Beginning with an exploration of the legislative framework governing wildlife conservation, it navigates through the realm of judicial activism in addressing issues such as wildlife trafficking, poaching, and cruelty to animals. The paper scrutinises the efficacy of DNA and forensic technologies, alongside the invaluable contribution of sniffer dogs in combatting illegal wildlife trade. It assesses the existing legal provisions for wildlife protection in India, advocating for potential legislative amendments. Through case studies and jurisprudential analysis, it examines the evolving concept of animal rights, including the intriguing question of whether animals can be recognized as juristic persons. Additionally, it talks about the intersection between humanism and animalism within constitutional paradigms. The paper underscores India's commitment to international treaties and conventions for wildlife conservation, while also highlighting the pivotal role played by specialized tribunals and NGOs. Ultimately, we have tried to interpret the essence of the dynamic and evolving jurisprudence in safeguarding wildlife and ecosystems for future generations.
