c) Preservation of diversity of species of wild animals;
Status and categories:
The giving of the status of endangered animal species and protection occurs according to the followingcategories:
a) Extinct Taxon ( Extinct - EX). A taxon is regarded as extinct, when the last individual is killed;
b) Taxon, Extinct in the Wild ( Extinct in the Wild - EW). A taxon is regarded as extinct in the wild,when it is known, that individuals of this species are only left in captivity;
c) Critically Endangered Taxon ( Critically Endangered - CR ). A taxon is regarded as criticallyendangered, when it, being in present conditions, is facing a great danger of extinction in the nearestfuture;
d) Endangered Taxon ( Endangered - EN ). A taxon, which is not facing a great danger, but maybecome endangered in the nearest future;
e) Vulnerable Taxon ( Vulnerable - VU) A taxon is not facing a danger, but may be facing it in thenearest future.
f) Lower Risk Taxon ( Lower Risk - LR ). The taxon does not meet the criteria of endangered andvulnerable categories. This taxon may be divided into three subcategories:
- Conservation Dependent Taxon (CD);
- Near Threatened Taxon (NT). A taxon, which does not approximate the conservation dependent one,but is near to the vulnerable one;
- Less Concern Taxon. A taxon, which approximates neither the conservation dependent one, nor that,being near the vulnerable one;
g) Data Deficient Taxon ( Data Deficient - DD). A taxon, information available about which is notsufficient for direct or indirect evaluation of its extinction risk;
h) Not Evaluated Taxon ( Not Evaluated - NE). A taxon belongs to this category, when it can not beevaluated by any criteria.
Protection and restoration of the taxons, entered into Georgia’s Red List and Red Book, isimplemented in accordance with the rules of practical measures of rescue of endangered species on thegrounds of provision “ On the Rules of Practical Measures of Rescue of Endangered Species”, whichis worked out and approved by the Ministry.
The list of those wild animals, capture of which, keeping in semi-free conditions and captivity ofwhich is prohibited for physical and juridical persons, is established and confirmed by decree of theMinistry “ On the list of those wild animals, capture of which, keeping in semi-free conditions andcaptivity of which is prohibited for physical and juridical persons”.
