The Sustainable Hunting E-Magazine The magazine aims to promote the concept of sustainable hunting as a fundamental tool for protecting nature and its wildlife, by providing reliable scientific information, in-depth analytical content, and interviews with experts, researchers, responsible hunters, and environmental activists. The magazine works to redefine hunting as a relationship of balance and respect between humans and nature, rather than an act of consumption or display. It seeks to correct common misconceptions associated with hunting by highlighting laws and regulations, hunting seasons, permitted species, and the true role of the conscious hunter in safeguarding biodiversity.

The Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS) is a leading European organization founded in 1975. It works to protect migratory birds from illegal hunting and combats wildlife violations across Europe, especially along migration routes. The organization uses tools such as electronic monitoring and coordinates with authorities to confront these environmental crimes. How it works: Monitoring and investigation: Its specialized team monitors patterns of illegal hunting, gathers evidence, and uses technologies such as electronic tracking. Cooperation with authorities: It submits documented complaints to authorities (police, gendarmerie, and prosecutors) to ensure legal action is taken against offenders. Field operations: It conducts on-the-ground campaigns in member countries to protect birds, particularly at stopover and nesting sites. Importance of the organization: CABS is an important voice for the protection of biodiversity in Europe, especially regarding migratory birds that travel long distances. It contributes to enforcing environmental laws and combating organized wildlife crimes. In short, CABS is an active environmental organization working both on the ground and in the digital space to protect Europe’s birds from the threat of illegal hunting.
