Penalties for illegal hunting and collecting

Any penalty or fine charged for illegal hunting and collecting. Well controlled hunting and collecting of valuable species can reduce uncontrolled losses (i.e. through poaching) and generate revenue for management of natural areas if adequately priced, managed and enforced. Overexploitation can lead to species endangerment or extinction and broader ecosystem damage. revenues from penalties and fines can be allocated to habitat and biodiversity protection.
