The Ministry of Local Administration and Environmental Quality, in an urgent circular issued on November 9, 2026, directed the governors to direct administrative units to monitor the hunter's activities, especially in areas of bird migration routes during the fall migration season, and to take legal action against the violators.
The circular clarified that the increase in attacks on wildlife is a threat to the environmental balance and biodiversity, and affects the existence of bird and wild animal species, especially those threatened with extinction, based on Wild Hunting Law No. 14 of 2023 and Environmental Quality Law No. 12 of 2012.
