Abstract

The present Regulation makes provision in matter of wildlife reproduction public and private centres as well as wildlife farming for nutritional, repopulation and ornamental purposes. The keeping and farming of wild animals belonging to the species that may be hunted as per article 17, paragraphs 1 and 3 of Regional Act No. 14 of 1994 is permitted upon previous granting of an authorization by the competent Province. Moreover, the above-mentioned public or private centres may be allowed to introduce and improve protected wild species. Nevertheless, the Regional Council and the Provinces may determine the suspension of the authorization for certain periods in order to protect particular endangered species. Administrative functions are entrusted to the Provinces by article 2, which concerns the application for obtaining the authorization too. Hunting is forbidden in centres intended for wildlife reproduction.
