Conclusion of the bird protection camp in northern Italy

10.11.2024

The large bird protection camp in Brescia in northern Italy has now come to an end. A total of 38 participants spent five weeks checking the mountains between Lake Garda and Lake Iseo for trapping sites. Together with the police and game wardens, we were able to convict 32 poachers at the active traps and nets we found. The officers seized 393 snap traps, 13 net traps, 63 bow traps, 8 snares, 1 glue rod, 76 set nets, 23 hunting weapons, around 500 rounds of shotgun ammunition and 316 dead birds from the perpetrators. 280 birds were released from traps and nets or confiscated as live decoys.
