Following the eruption of La Soufriere, The Ministry took the decision to place a moratorium on hunting to allow species to replenish as well as to preserve the habitats of protected and partially protected wildlife including mammals, reptiles and birds.
According to Forestry Officer for Law and Compliance, Mr. Bradford Latham observations and research shows that there is an increase number of wildlife species, so a decision was made to re-open the hunting season though shortened.
THE SHORTENDED HUNTING SEASON OPENS ON OCTOBER 1st, 2022 AND ENDS ON DECEMBER 31st, 2022.
The Forestry Department is appealing to persons to comply with the laws of the country and the guidelines provided by the Ministry to ensure that the animals are there for future seasons.
