Granting of permits for wildlife exploitation activities

What this is

Approval fees for wildlife exploitation activities constitute non-tax public revenue collected by the Government in consideration of processing and issuing authorizations allowing individuals or legal entities to undertake wildlife exploitation activities in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. These fees are payable by operators seeking approval to engage in activities such as wildlife ranching, wildlife farming, trade in wildlife species, capture, collection, processing, or any other wildlife-related activity requiring prior authorization. The fees cover the administrative and technical assessment of applications, verification of the applicants' technical and financial capacity, and evaluation of the proposed activities to ensure compliance with biodiversity conservation requirements. They are intended to promote the sustainable use of wildlife resources, protect wildlife species and their habitats, ensure compliance with environmental regulations, and support the financing of government inspection, monitoring, and regulatory activities in the wildlife sector.
