| Environmental affairs confirm extension of zero quota for leopard hunting in South Africa | |
| 2017 Full Book | |
In compliance with signed international conservation treaties and agreements as well as national legislation, the government has a responsibility to ensure conservation and sustainable utilisation of South Africa's biodiversity resources. As part of this responsibility, the Scientific Authority of South Africa, appointed in terms of the National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act, must make a non-detriment finding (NDF) to confirm that the trade, including export of CITES I listed species (such as leopard), will not impact negatively on the survival of that species in the wild. |
