Wildlife Protection Law, 1955
Updated: 2/03/2010

This law authorizes the Minister of Environmental Protection to restrict the hunting of wild animals, to issue hunting permits and to appoint inspectors to enforce the law. It prohibits trading, possessing or transporting protected species without a permit. It requires a hunting license for game hunting or for the extermination of pests, and prohibits the hunting of protected species, except by special permit and for specific purposes listed in the law. The law serves as Israel's implementation tool for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
