The Wildlife Act, 1976 (Wildlife Dealing) Regulations, 1977, are a set of regulations in Ireland that govern the dealing in certain protected wildlife species. These regulations are designed to protect endangered species from exploitation and to regulate the trade in wildlife to ensure its sustainability.
The Regulations regulate the buying, selling, and possession of certain protected wildlife species in Ireland, and aim to ensure that trade in wildlife is sustainable and does not threaten the survival of endangered species. Compliance with these regulations is essential for businesses involved in the trade to ensure the sustainability of wildlife populations and to avoid penalties for non-compliance.
