Abstract

Loi cadre visant à la conservation de la diversité des espèces; la protection des espèces menacées; l'exploitation equilibrée pour la chasse des populations de gibier. La loi fixe également les principes selon lesquels les cantons doivent réglementer la chasse, ceci dans le respect des domaines de compétence respectifs. Ainsi le Conseil fédéral, après avoir consulté les cantons, délimite des réserves de sauvagine et d'oiseaux migrateurs (art. 11.1). Les cantons peuvent, toutefois, délimiter d'autres districts francs et réserves d'oiseaux (art. 11.4). La loi fixe un régime d'autorisation (art. 4) des périodes et des zones de chasse (art. 5). Les dispositions pénales prévoient inter alia des peines pouvant aller jusqu'à un an d'emprisonnement (chap. 7).
