Answer:
It is certainly the duty of the govt. to make effective laws, update them timely and at the same time ensure that they are widely publicised and abided by the people. The govt. should keep a check on the way people respond to any legislation and what can be done to create a balance between animal and human rights.
Various projects have been carried out and the results though not remarkably great but are showing some improvement in conservation of wildlife in the country. In rural areas where the majority of these conflicts happen, the government reach and visibility are often limited. Moreover, the land-owners whose crops or cattle are often attacked by these animals take very minimum efforts to report such incidents to the authorities and seek to deal with the animals by their own brawn. Numerous videos surface on social media where mobs of villagers have been seen thrashing tigers and leopards while forest authorities stand by them as mere spectators. It could have been better if the govt. had worked vigorously in the past and fostered a sense of respect in the people towards these authorities as well as rights of the animals.Sending a Legal Notice: You can either send a legal notice to the individual/group of animal abusers yourself through a lawyer, or report the matter to an NGO which would do that for you. In case no action is being taken by the abuser even after sending the notice, you can file an official complaint.
Getting a Wildlife Case Registered: An offence report is known by different names in different states, such as Preliminary Offence Report (POR), Offence Report, First Information Report (FIR), Seizure Intimation, etc. However, to make the reports uniform, it is advised that the report be called Wildlife Offence Report (WLOR). It is prepared under Section 50(4) of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. This can be filed by anyone generally.
