Discussion on Activists Against Poaching in the Environment Committee

September 14, 2026

The discussion in the Environment Committee regarding activist organizations combating poaching in Cyprus has sparked controversy. ELAM lawmakers have called for an investigation into the actions of these organizations, arguing they raise public concern. However, other political parties view this approach as disparaging. A proposal to change the title to a neutral one was not approved. The main question is whether the process will strengthen the fight against poaching or target the activists.
