Huge success in Cyprus - new record against poaching

15.12.2024

After almost three months, our autumn bird protection camp in Cyprus has come to an end. Particularly in the south-east of the island, 14 participants searched for trapping sites, an supported the police in their work against poaching. As a result of our team’s field investigations, 74 poachers were convicted - more than ever before! The authorities confiscated 1,302 limesticks, 88 nets and 101 electronic decoys. Over 700 migratory birds, including warblers, thrushes, owls, redstarts and shrikes, were freed from the traps by our volunteers - thousands more were not even caught!
