Did you know that…..

429,137 birds

……have already been illegally killed by trappers in Cyprus so far this autumn?

THIS NUMBER represents the BirdLife Cyprus estimate for how many birds have been illegally killed using mist nets and limesticks between September 1st and September 21st 2011. This death toll, which will be updated weekly during the autumn trapping season, is based on systematic monitoring of trapping activity in the field. Although only an estimate, it shows the extent of the problem out there in the “killing fields” of the Famagusta and Larnaca Districts of Cyprus.  What’s worse is that much of this takes place on UK soil in the Base areas.
