Jura: the environment office implements hunting law
The ENV is the office charged with applying federal and cantonal hunting law, and provides hunting policing and supervision.
In the canton of Jura it is the Office de l'environnement (ENV), within the environment and culture department, that is charged with applying federal and cantonal hunting law and that provides hunting policing and supervision. The office handles the subject in several distinct strands, each published separately: the practice of hunting and training, game and protected species, damage prevention and compensation, road traffic and wildlife, and climbing activities — the last a reminder that protecting wildlife is not only a matter for the hunting season. The cantonal texts appear in the Jura systematic collection of laws: the ordinance on hunting and the protection of wild fauna, the ordinance on granting the temporary hunting permit, and the regulation on the practice of hunting, which sets the types of permit issued and the fees in force.
