It further regulates prohibited hunting gear and methods, the transportation of hunted game, and other applicable prohibitions and restrictions. Protected game species are listed in Annex 1. The holders of a master falconry certificate may hunt bird species authorized by the Central Hunting Commission, as well as CITES-listed bird species imported by them, subject to the applicable daily hunting limits.
