野生動物保育法

This law is enacted to protect wildlife, maintain species diversity, and balance the natural ecosystem.

地方主管機關可以劃定野生動物保護區並擬訂、執行保育計畫；必要時也可以委託其他機關或團體。

野生動物保護區土地在一定情況下可依法徵收或撥用；未徵收或撥用的土地，所有人、使用人或占有人要依公告方法提供野生動物棲息環境，主管機關也可要求變更或停止有害保育的使用方式，並應補償損失。

為執行野生動物資源調查或保育計畫，主管機關或受託機關、團體得派員攜帶證明文件進入公、私有土地；土地所有人、使用人或管理人原則上不得規避、拒絕或妨礙，涉及軍事機密者除外。

如果經許可的開發利用行為破壞野生動物棲息環境，主管機關應限期要求行為人提出補救方案並監督執行；如果該開發利用未經許可，主管機關還可緊急處理，費用由行為人負擔。

主管機關得對逸失或在野外生存的非臺灣地區原產動物，採取必要處置；但以其可能影響國內動植物棲息環境為前提。

非基於學術研究或教育目的時，獵捕一般類野生動物要在地方主管機關劃定的區域內進行，並先申請許可證。

Hunting wild animals by listed harmful methods is prohibited, and the competent authority may remove, dismantle, and destroy those methods.

This provision says who the competent authority is: the Ministry of Agriculture at the central level, municipal governments in special municipalities, county/city governments in counties and cities, and the Ocean Affairs Council for marine wildlife conservation.

進入指定區域獵捕或垂釣的人，必須向受託管理機關或團體登記、隨身攜帶許可證；離開時還要報明取得的野生動物種類和數量，並繳納費用。

Certain wild animals may be hunted or killed in specified cases, and protected wild animals generally require prior reporting to the competent authority unless the situation is urgent.
