The Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act (R.A 9147) establishes a framework for the conservation and protection of wildlife species and their habitats in the Philippines. It is jointly implemented by the DENR, DA, and PCSD. The Act makes several acts unlawful, including killing, injuring, or collecting wildlife as well as destroying habitats. Penalties include imprisonment and fines that increase in severity based on the conservation status of the affected species - whether critically endangered, endangered, threatened, or vulnerable. Violations involving other wildlife species carry lesser penalties. The Act also establishes a Wildlife Management Fund derived from fines and fees to support conservation efforts like habitat rehabilitation.
