Abstract

This Regulation for Wildlife Protection gives definitions and establishes conditions for the licensing, hunting, capturing, reporting, marking and trading of wildlife animals. Animals for game purposes are listed in this regulation as well as a pest list. Limitations as for hunting seasons and quantities are set and night hunting is prohibited unless a special permit is obtained. A list of prohibited hunting methods is listed in paragraph 6. A hunting licence, of 1 year validity, can be obtained by who has more than 18 years of age, is covered by a hunting insurance policy, has a rifle permit licence, has paid the licence toll and has passed a written test. A hunting permit for special purposes can be obtained for whom has more than 18 years of age, has a rifle permit licence, has been practicing shooting for the last 12 months, has paid the permit toll and doesn’t have previous offences. The manager of the Natural Reserves Authority has the power to change, suspend or revoke any hunting licence or permit if an offence has been done or is suspected. The owner of any wildlife animal is obliged to declare its possession.
