By enacting the present Regional Act, the Basilicata Region regulates the management of its territory for fauna and hunting purposes as well as the protection of wildlife species, in compliance with the principles and rules contained in Act No. 157 of 11 February 1992 and international agreements in force. Moreover, the present provisions implement the principles relating to the conservation of wild birds referred to in article 1, paragraph 4 of Act No. 157 of 1992. Wildlife species are regarded as resources of a limited character. Subsequently, their protection and hunting regulation must comply with the programming and special planning method. The Act is divided into six different Titles. Title I lays down general provisions. Administrative functions dealing with programming, coordination, control and supervision belong to the Region. Other functions are entrusted to the Provinces. The Region and the Provinces shall rely on the collaboration and consultancy service of the National Wildlife Institution.

Article 7 refers to the promotion of research by the Regional Council. A Technical Wildlife and Hunting Committee shall be set up for each Province (art. 8).
