Since July 25, 2019, the collect of insects in Guyane and their exit from this territory are now regulated by a prefectoral decree.
To be in good standing, any person going to French Guiana to collect and bring back the lepidoptera thus collected outside this department, will have to make a declaration on the site of the DEAL of Guyane:
www.guyane.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/nouvelle-reglementation-relative-aux-arthropodes-a3034.html
The declaration must include the following:
• Identification of the applicant,
• The species or, failing that, the family or the taxonomic group, as well as the number of specimens collected and transported,
• The localities of the samples,
• The destination of the specimens (private collection, museum, etc.).
The decree of July 25, 2019 provided for a quota of 100 specimens of more than 1cm per year per person. This restrictive measure was the subject of two graceful appeals, one of which was initiated by The Lepidopterists of France Association (ALF) with which the SEF, ACOREP, OREINA and ENTOMO-FAUNA were associated.
Two meetings of an advisory committee set up by the prefecture of Guyane took place during the 4th quarter of 2019 in which Louis DIRINGER, vice-president participated on behalf of the ALF and the four associations which signed the graceful action.
The work resulted in a relaxation of the decree of July 2019 by bringing in particular to 1000 per year per person the number of specimens that can be taken and transported outside Guyana.
The text of the new decree of January 7, 2020 can be viewed below.
We invite all ALF members who wish to go to Guyana to sample lepidoptera to comply with the provisions of the prefectural decree.
Any violation of this decree may be penalized by a 4th class ticket (up to € 750 fine) per specimen exceeding the quota.
