Abstract

This Memorandum Circular adopts the Wildlife Law Enforcement Manual of Operations. The Manual shall serve as guide for the Wildlife Enforcement Officers (WEO), DENR Wildlife Traffic Monitoring Units (WTMU), Deputy/Special Deputy Environment and Natural Resources Officers (DENRO/SDENRO) and other stakeholders in the enforcement of the provisions of R.A. No. 9147 and other relevant wildlife laws, rules and regulations. The Manual is divided into three Books: 1) Book I - State Policy, Laws Relevant to Wildlife and Mandates of Government Agencies. This book lists down and provides details on the laws and policies being implemented by the DENR pertinent to wildlife protection, which include among others, R.A. No. 9147, R.A. No. 7586 (the National Integrated Protected Areas System Act), R.A. No. 9072 (National Caves and Cave Resources Management and Protection Act), and their Implementing Rules and Regulations. This Book specifically provides the groundwork for the existing laws and state policies from which they were based. It also presents the various agencies involved in wildlife law enforcement and their respective roles based on their mandates.
