National Committee on Ecology and Climate Change of the Republic of Uzbekistan

Hunting is allowed only for individuals with a hunting ticket and with a permit issued by the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change according to approved quotas for hunting wild animals in a certain territory.

It is important to remember! Wild animals living in a state of natural freedom are state property. The quota for their extraction is established by the Ministry of Ecology on the basis of the conclusion of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan in accordance with the data on their abundance and accounting for harvested wild animals.

We remind you of the rights and duties of a hunter.

The hunter has the right:

• to hunt permitted species of wild animals in designated areas and on time;

• dispose of the hunted products at one's own discretion;

At the same time, the hunter is obliged to:
