I keep mixing the wildlife bodies. National Board for Wildlife, National Tiger Conservation Authority, Wildlife Crime Control Bureau – I can list the names but not a clean one-line function, and prelims loves this.

If you have a no-frills distinction (statutory basis only if you're sure), please share. I don't want a 10-page note.

The way I keep it: NBWL is the high-level board on wildlife policy / certain clearances in and around protected areas (chaired, in the usual setup, with the PM as chair of the National Board – I still re-check the exact chair/vice-chair before a test because options get picky). NTCA is the authority focused on Project Tiger / tiger reserves. WCCB is the body for wildlife crime / intelligence and coordination. I wouldn't memorise every section number unless a PYQ has already asked it.

That's a useful three-line split. I'll add 'crime vs tiger reserves vs board' as the hook and re-read the official pages once this weekend rather than a random blog.
