The provincial department of Wildlife on Saturday notified breeding facility rules for all wildlife species in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), said a handout.
As per the rules, any person or institution can build breeding facility for any wildlife animal or bird after registration with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Wildlife Department.
“If there is any wildlife breeding facility in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, its owners should immediately register their business under these rules with the nearest office of the Wildlife Department across the province, otherwise their business or facility will be considered as illegal and will be prosecuted as per law,” it added.
The statement further elaborates those owners or entities dealing in illegal breeding facility may also face immediate closure with heavy fines and imprisonment.
It is pertinent to mention here that breeding facility rules have been passed by the provincial cabinet under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Wildlife and Biodiversity (Protection, Preservation, Conservation and Management) Act, 2015.
