📋 Tender Overview
The Minister of Agriculture and Environment has issued Circular 85/2025/TT-BNNMT regulating the management of endangered, precious, rare species, common forest animals and implementation of the Convention on international trade in endangered wild fauna and flora. Download Conservation and protection of endangered, precious and rare species This Circular regulates in detail a number of articles of the Law on Forestry, the Law on Biodiversity and the Law on Fisheries on the management of endangered, precious and rare species of forest plants and animals; Endangered, precious and rare species are prioritized for protection; raising, rescuing, and releasing common forest animals; enforce the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (hereinafter referred to as CITES).2. This Circular does not stipulate the management regime for endangered, precious, and rare livestock breeds, plant varieties, and endangered, precious, and rare aquatic species not included in the CITES Appendix. The Circular stipulates that endangered, precious, and rare species include Group I and Group II. Group I: Species that are strictly prohibited from exploiting and using specimens from the wild in Vietnam for commercial purposes, including: List of endangered, precious, and rare species prioritized for protection; List of endangered, precious and rare species of forest plants and animals Group IA: forest plants, Group IB: forest animals. Group II: Species restricted from exploitation and use of specimens exploited from the wild in Vietnam for commercial purposes, including: List of endangered, precious and rare species of forest plants and animals Group IIA: forest plants, Group IIB: forest animals. Principles of conservation and protection of endangered, precious and rare species According to the Circular, exploitation activities Exploiting, raising, planting, processing, trading, transporting, storing, advertising, displaying, exchanging, donating, exporting, importing specimens of endangered, precious, and rare species must not negatively affect the existence, growth, and development of that species in the wild and must be managed, ensuring legal origin. Activities of breeding and exporting endangered, precious, and rare animals prioritized for protection for commercial purposes may only be carried out for individuals from The F2 generation of a species is determined by the Vietnam CITES Scientific Authority to have the ability to reproduce over many generations in a controlled environment and does not affect the existence and development of that species in the wild. Investigation, exploration, research, exploitation, sightseeing, and tourism activities that have the risk of negatively affecting the habitat, movement, and feeding places of endangered, precious, and rare species need to comply with the provisions of this Circular and relevant legal regulations and have mitigation measures, ensuring not to affect the existence and development of that species in nature. Do not use tools and means of extermination and destruction such as: weapons, poisoned arrows, explosives, poisons, digging tunnels, holes, placing spikes, large tripod traps, spike traps, spear traps, electric traps, snap traps, net traps, cage traps, glue traps, slingshots, large logs, large iron teeth, animal noise making devices to exploit natural specimens of endangered, precious, and rare species, except for some cases of exploitation for scientific research, foreign affairs, and conservation when approved by competent authorities. Measures to conserve and protect endangered, precious, and rare species. The Circular clearly states that endangered, precious, and rare species of Group I that live naturally are conserved on-site in their natural distribution areas through the establishment of nature reserves or implementation of measures to protect their habitats and migration areas according to Relevant laws for the management and protection of that species in areas where nature reserves have not yet been established. Endangered, precious and rare species are conserved ex situ through the following activities: rescue, rearing, artificial cultivation, storage and preservation of genetic resources and specimens of endangered, precious and rare species to support the recovery of species populations in the wild; Release and translocate for conservation to protect and restore species in their natural habitat according to the law on biodiversity. Regimes for management and conservation of endangered, precious and rare plant varieties and livestock breeds prioritized for protection and forestry plant varieties comply with the provisions of law on animal husbandry, cultivation and management of forestry plant varieties. Handle cases of endangered, precious and rare animals that harm or threaten human life and property In all cases Endangered, precious, and rare animals that threaten to harm the property or lives of people, organizations, households, and individuals must apply measures to prevent, repel, limit harm to animals, and immediately notify the Department of Agriculture and Environment or the nearest Commune-level Peoples Committee. In cases where endangered, precious, or rare animals directly attack humans outside special-use forests or nature reserves after applying measures to repel but are ineffective, the Committee The commune-level Peoples Committee decides and directly directs the organization of the capture of that animal. In case an animal attack endangers human life and cannot be prevented, chased away, or captured, apply defensive measures and promptly report to the local specialized management agency.
