Winter bird protection camp in Cyprus has started

20.01.2025

Our bird protection camp in Cyprus has only been running for a few days to combat bird trapping and illegal shooting, and we have already caught 3 poachers! At this time of year, numerous thrushes spend the winter on the Mediterranean island, and poachers chase them with electronic decoys, firearms, and nets. At Cape Greko, after a CABS report, a hunter was caught by the game wardens using an illegal electronic decoy to shoot thrushes. Another man has been reported because the child accompanying him (presumably his son) shot a stonechat with his gun. The game wardens caught a third poacher red-handed while checking a large trapping net. CABS members had found and reported the net earlier. Our bird protection camp will run until mid-February.
