From The Hindu, May 26, 1975: Curbs on export of rare birds and mammals
Calcutta, May 25: The Centre has further listed 44 rare species and endangered categories of birds and imposed restrictions on their export under the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, according to an official source. Besides, three species of reptiles and 37 species of mammals were brought under the purview of the restrictive order which came into force this month. While the birds include munias, mynas, finches and pigeons (except blue rock pigeons), the reptiles are chameleon, rat snake and water snake. Among the mammals Andaman wild pig, Assamese macaque, common dolphin, hyena, Nilgiri thar and jackal are listed. Under the order only registered exporters of wildlife and wildlife products will be allowed to despatch the listed birds, reptiles and mammals through the major ports of Calcutta, Bombay and Madras and Delhi on production of a wild certificate to be issued by the State's Chief Wildlife Warden. Earlier, the Centre under the Act had totally banned trade in 70 rare and endangered species of mammals, 18 reptiles and 44 birds to protect and preserve wildlife in the country. The trade in butterflies and moth and dragonfly had also been banned. While a separate policy in regard to rhesus monkeys, bonnet monkeys and peacock-tail feather has yet to be announced, the export of non-poisonous live snakes will be allowed on shipping bills by the registered exporters of wildlife in all permissible destinations with a limited ceiling.

Mubadala Energy ready to sell south Andaman gas to Indonesia if price is right
TANGERANG, Indonesia - Mubadala Energy would be more than happy to supply all the natural gas to be produced from its south Andaman block for Indonesia's domestic consumption at the right price, a senior executive said on Wednesday. Indonesia wants gas producers to increase supplies to domestic users as demand is rising. However, producers mostly prioritise exports of liquefied natural gas and have asked the government to review price caps on domestic gas, arguing that it does not make good business sense when spot prices for LNG are so much higher. Abdulla Bu Ali, president director of Mubadala Energy Indonesia, told reporters on the sidelines of the Indonesia Petroleum Association conference, that the company was looking at both exports and selling to Indonesia. He said domestic gas prices had to be competitive but declined to give a specific number. The United Arab Emirates explorer expects to start gas production at Tangkulo-1 in its south Andaman block in late 2028. On Tuesday, it signed an initial agreement to supply gas to state fertiliser maker Pupuk Indonesia. Indonesia caps domestic gas prices for certain industries and power plants at $6.50-$7 per million British thermal units (mmBtu). Spot LNG prices in Asia were at $11.75 per mmBtu last week.
