Operation Artemis, the GNR’s intervention, is to plan, coordinate and execute hunting regulation enforcement actions “throughout the national territory,” similar to the work carried out in 2023.
In a statement, the GNR reinforced that hunting is a renewable natural resource which, according to current legislation, is subject to a specific policy and special protection and conservation measures, aimed at managing game resources.
The enforcement operation will be carried out through the Nature and Environment Protection Service (SEPNA), which integrates the GNR as an environmental police force, and aims to “observe compliance with measures for the protection and conservation of game resources, with a view to their sustainable management.”
According to the GNR, this operation is characterized by awareness-raising and cooperation actions in the context of activities related to hunting, as well as enforcement actions on the exercise of hunting.
“At the opening of the hunting season in regulated areas, special attention must be paid to game species, months, and daily bag limits, listed in the Hunting Calendar for the 2024-2025 Hunting Season,” warned this security force.
As provided for in the legislation, the hunting season in regulated areas begins on the third Sunday of August, which this year will be August 18, ending on February 28, 2025.
“The hunting season for big game species, such as wild boar, red deer, fallow deer, roe deer, and mouflon, in regulated areas, began on June 1, 2024, ending on May 31, 2025,” the GNR informed.
In non-regulated areas, the scheduled calendar is from October 6 to December 29 of this year.
Through SEPNA, the GNR’s strategic priority is the defense of natural and environmental values with a perspective of “achieving better security and well-being for humans and biodiversity.”
