Statute overview

About this statute

This law recognizes certain animal-related facilities as “Centers of Conservation” with a conservation and biodiversity research component. The law’s purpose is to promote protection, care, and conservation of wild fauna by voluntarily recognizing certain animal facilities as “Conservation Centers.” El Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible debe coordinar la custodia, transporte, manejo y albergue de fauna silvestre con las autoridades ambientales y los centros de conservación, y debe aprobar los documentos técnicos, protocolos y programas de seguridad aplicables. Zoos, aquariums, theme parks with wild animals, and similar places must meet animal-welfare standards and consider safety, research, education, conservation, and sustainability standards; the environment ministry has 12 months to regulate these objectives and set up a standards, monitoring, and evaluation system. Los ejemplares de fauna silvestre en centros de conservación deben tener la documentación exigida, vivir en hábitats adecuados, recibir atención veterinaria, biológica y nutricional, y contar con zonas seguras para procedimientos veterinarios.
