Exclusion of Key Organizations from Discussion on Poaching
September 16, 2026
The discussion in the parliamentary Environment Committee about activist organizations and regulatory measures against poaching has excluded the participation of BirdLife Cyprus and CABS. These organizations condemn the decision as a political maneuver and highlight the importance of their role in gathering evidence and reporting illegal activities. CABS emphasizes that collaboration with authorities is crucial for wildlife protection. The Cyprus Hunting Federation expresses concern about the safety of hunters, pointing out the harassment they face. The exclusion of relevant organizations raises questions about the purpose of the discussion.
