• Prefectural Order No. 361/DEAL/SEPR/2018 of 14 December 2018

Prohibition throughout the territory of Mayotte of the destruction or removal of eggs or nests, as well as the mutilation, destruction, capture or removal, intentional disturbance, naturalization, whether they are alive or dead, their transport, peddling, use, possession, offering for sale, sale or purchase. The destruction, alteration or degradation of breeding sites and resting areas of animals is also prohibited in the parts of the territory of Mayotte where the species is present as well as in the natural range of existing population centres. These prohibitions apply to the physical or biological elements deemed necessary for the reproduction or rest of the species in question, as long as they are actually used or usable during the successive cycles of reproduction or rest of that species and for all that the destruction, alteration or degradation calls into question the proper completion of these biological cycles.​
