What national protection level does the wild badger have?

The wild pig badger is a national second-class protected animal, and the dog badger is a national second-class protected animal. However, because there are many varieties, most are city-level protected animals rather than national protected animals. At present, the state prohibits hunting, and hunting them is illegal.

Is the pig badger a protected animal?

The pig badger is a protected animal. The population distribution of the pig badger is not scattered, and it is very common in the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Thailand, the high mountain areas of Sumatra in Indonesia, and the southwestern and eastern regions of Cambodia. In Myanmar, due to the decrease in sightings, it can be explained that the abundance of this species has generally declined. Studies show that the population trend of the pig badger may differ across its distribution range, but the overall population is declining. It has been listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species in 2008.

In general, apart from the wild pig badger and the dog badger, which are national protected animals, the rest are city-level protected animals. The state prohibits hunting, and once discovered, it is illegal.
