The Federal Species Protection Regulations, first adopted on 19 December 1986, is a set of federal regulations[1] in Germany. These regulations protect wild plants and animals.[1] They are the implementing rules promulgated by the government to give force to the Federal Nature Conservation Act which passed on 1 January 1977. With the passage of new legislation, it became necessary to update the regulations. The current version of these laws dates from 16 February 2005.[1] Annex 1 of these regulations lists the protected plants and animals. The protected species should not be confused with the Red Lists of animal and plant species in danger of extinction.
