Once it has been approved, the Biodiversity Directorate issues an MO declaring how many animals of each species may be hunted and grants the corresponding number of permits. The tagging is done twice - by the Biodiversity Directorate with the CITES tags and by the General Directorate for Forests with its own tagging system for all the species to be hunted (not necessarily CITES-protected species). The number of the tag is placed on the CITES permit to be provided to the hunter for identification purposes.
