IBAMA List |

Unfortunately, government measures and laws introduced to help conserve species can have the opposite effect to that intended, and will affect the SAA Group by outlawing the capture and keeping of some of these "pearls" of South America. The list is striking in the species missing from the list as well as those included and their supposed "categorisation".
The SAA Group may need to take some form of action. Perhaps the group will need to demonstrate some serious actions and commitment to conservation in order to allow us to continue keeping the Brazilian species. The only way forward may be to cooperate with government institutions and scientific establishments.
Does the SAA Group have a compelling case to persuade these groups to cooperate... ?

| Art. 3 | The species considered as threatened of extinction in the contents of Appendix 1 of this Normative Instruction are forbidden to be captured, in the terms of the legislation immediately, except for scientific purposes, by means of special authorization of the Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente (Brazilian Institute of the Environment) and Recursos Naturais Renováveis-IBAMA (Renewable Natural Resources-IBAMA). | ||
| Art. 4 | To stop the species considered as threatened of extinction in the contents of Appendix 1 of this Normative Instruction, a plan of recovery will have to be developed that will be elaborated and implemented under the coordination of Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente and Recursos Naturais Renováveis-IBAMA with the participation of the state agencies, of the scientific community and the civil organisations, in a maximum stated period of five years, from the publication of this Normative Instruction. | ||
| Art. 5 | For the over-exploited or species threatened with over-exploitation contained in Appendix II of the Normative Instruction, a plan of management will have to be developed, under the coordination of the Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente and Recursos Naturais Renováveis-IBAMA, with the participation of the state agencies, the scientific community and the civil organisation, , in a maximum stated period of five years, from the publication of this Normative Instruction. Only paragraph. The management plans aim to recover the supplies and of the sustainability of the fish, without damaging the improvement made by the existing measures. | ||
