teaser

date:  28/06/2021

The illegal use of poisoned baits usually targets small carnivores (such as foxes) or wolves. However, often bears, rare birds of prey, as well as livestock guarding dogs, are poisoned accidentally, threatening efforts to improve coexistence between people and large carnivores.

The LIFE ARCPROM project aims to declare the 22nd February as "National Day Against Poisoned Bait" during which, each year, awareness-raising activities and local events will be co-organised all over Greece. This first awareness-raising event included representatives from the Government, NGOs, the national parks and academics. Approximately 80 people attended the live event, while the Facebook video gathered more than 2.300 views by the end of May 2021.
