The Forestry Bureau on Saturday reminded the public that possession of an African sacred ibis, a green iguana or a cane toad without a permit is punishable with a fine of up to NT$50,000 and confiscation of the animal.
The Council of Agriculture (COA) on April 4 unveiled a pet management division, while also drawing up a list of inappropriate species to import, bureau Conservation Division Director Lo Yu-chuan (羅尤娟) said.
The African sacred ibis, green iguana and cane toad are among the species designated as harmful invasive species, which means permits are needed to breed or own them, she said.
