Hare Conservation Laws: Legal Frameworks for Protecting Vulnerable Species
Hares, belonging to the family Leporidae, are remarkable creatures known for their agility and speed. They play a significant role in various ecosystems, acting as both prey and, to a lesser extent, herbivores that influence vegetation patterns. However, many hare species have experienced declining populations due to factors such as habitat loss, climate change, and overhunting. Recognizing the vulnerability of these species, governments and international organizations have developed legal frameworks aimed at their conservation and protection.
