The Forestry and National Parks Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has placed an indefinite ban on hunting. The ban includes Manicou, Armadillo, Monkey and Iguana. Normally, the hunting season closes from February to September but the Ministry has decided to extend the ‘closed period’ because of the increase in the amount of hunting and a corresponding decrease in the wild life population. The public is reminded that hunting during the closed season is illegal and offenders are subject to charges upon summary conviction.
