I have proposed the inclusion of a provision in the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (NEMBA) relating to the well-being of faunal biological resources. This provision will facilitate the development of regulations that will address the well-being of a wild animal in respect of which a restricted activity (such as keeping, breeding, conveying, and so on) is carried out. This proposed provision has been included in the National Environmental Management Laws Amendment Bill (NEMLA Bill) which will be tabled in Parliament in April/May 2017.
