The campaign is designed to ensure strict adherence to both national regulations and international conventions, such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), to which Qatar is a signatory.
Inspectors are scrutinizing the legality of permits held by businesses dealing with wildlife, assessing whether operations are compliant with licensing requirements and environmental standards.

Any violations identified are subject to immediate legal action, as authorities move to eliminate practices that pose risks to both biodiversity and public safety.
This coordinated campaign forms part of a broader environmental strategy aimed at reinforcing the rule of law in matters concerning nature conservation.

The Ministry’s initiative sends a strong signal to wildlife traffickers and non-compliant businesses: the illegal exploitation of nature will not be tolerated.
Through consistent enforcement and public accountability, Qatar is strengthening its environmental governance and working toward a sustainable, ecologically balanced future.
