The Decree on the control of use and trade in wild flora and fauna ("Službeni glasnik RS" , br. 31/2005 od 8.4.2005. i 45/2005) pertains to wild species of flora and fauna, the harvesting of which from natural habitats is controlled and the fee for their use is determined. Appendix 2 of the Rulebook on the proclamation and protection of strictly protected and protected wild species of plants, animals and fungi ("Službeni glasnik RS", br. 5/2010, 47/2011, 32/2016, 98/2016) lists all species from the Decree, which are determined as protected wild species. This paper presents the analysis of the harvesting and trade in wild species, as well as the procedure for obtaining harvesting permits for the period from 1993 to 2024, i.e. the entire period in which the harvesting of wild species was controlled in the Republic of Serbia. The Institute's information system was established in 2005, which enabled monitoring of the state and analysis of approved and collected quantities of wild species in the territory of central Serbia without provinces. Records of collected quantities on the territory of Vojvodina are kept by the Institute for Nature Conservation of Vojvodina Province. The annual reports of the Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia, which provide a summary of the trade in wild species of flora and fauna, have been used as main documents regarding the analyses presented in this paper. Monitoring and implementation of legal regulations are the basis for the sustainable development of natural diversity, and this paper is aimed at better understanding and improving this activity.
