Albania, new law to extend the hunting ban by 5 years After the opening of the last few days, the Tirana government has started the process for the regulatory text: it could come into force starting from September 2016. The news on international hunting concerns again theAlbania: a few days ago there was talk of a possible stop to the ban imposed by Tirana to hunting in the Balkan nation, but now the local media have explained how the government is preparing a new law to extend this ban by another five years. According to reports from BIRN Albania, the Ministry of the Environment has already prepared the draft of the legislative text, which will be examined by Parliament next July. So the new provision would come into force from September 2016. The last two years have been characterized by a moratorium regarding this hunting ban and animal rights activists have claimed the excellent results achieved in this period. However, it must be said that the law has not stopped poachers, with

Hunting in Bas-Uélé: Geography and Natural Features, Hunting Demographics, and Game Species Diversity Geography and Natural Features in the Bas-Uélé Bas-Uélé, located in the northeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is defined by its vast tropical forests, river systems, and undisturbed savanna patches. The region is crisscrossed by tributaries of the Uele River, supporting a lush, biodiverse ecosystem. Dense vegetation, expansive wetlands, and isolated woodlands create ideal habitats for a range of game species, many of which are elusive and rarely encountered in more populated regions. The remoteness of the province adds to its appeal for adventurous hunters seeking an immersive wilderness experience. Demographics Hunting in Bas-Uélé remains primarily subsistence-based, practiced by local communities that rely on wild game for food and cultural practices. The area sees minimal recreational or commercial hunting by outsiders, largely due to limited infrastructure

Hunting in the North of Burkina Faso: Sahelian game pursuit, discreet Fulani and Mossi tracking techniques, spiritual codes of restraint, and low-impact desert hunting Scorched plains, windblown trails, and sparse savannah The Nord Region of Burkina Faso lies deep within the Sahel — a band of semi-arid land stretching from the Atlantic to the Red Sea. Here, the climate is harsh: long dry seasons, short erratic rains, and a landscape marked by thorn scrub, fading grass, and scattered acacia trees. Once roamed by large herds and migratory flocks, the region is now shaped by fragility — ecological and social alike. Despite this, hunting endures, not as a sport or luxury, but as a way of surviving and remembering. In the northern provinces of Yatenga, Zondoma, Loroum, and Passoré, hunting is austere, precise, and guided by ancestral instinct. Mossi and Fulani hunting knowledge: austere, adaptive, enduring Among the Mossi farmers and Fulani herders who populate the Nord, hunting has lon

Hunting in Centre-North: Dry flatlands, Sahelian game, Mossi-Fulani tracking culture, survival-driven hunting, and weak institutional control A harsh frontier between savannah and desert The Centre-Nord Region sits at the transitional edge where Burkina Faso's central plains give way to the more arid landscapes of the Sahel. Characterized by wide, flat terrain, thorny bushes, sparse trees, and dry riverbeds, it is a land shaped by long dry seasons and short, intense rains. Historically, this region was home to roaming herds of antelope and abundant birdlife, but today its ecology is fragile, worn by drought, overgrazing, and growing demographic pressure. Despite these challenges, hunting remains deeply rooted in the rural rhythm of life, offering not only sustenance but also a cultural bridge between past and present. The Mossi and Fulani hunters: pragmatism and pastoral wisdom In Centre-Nord, hunting traditions are practiced primarily by Mossi farmers and Fulani pastoralists. Fo

Bear meat vending machine proves popular in north Japan city. SEMBOKU, Akita -- From kimchi to insects, Japan's love affair with vending machines continues, and at a shinkansen station here, one machine is gaining popularity for another unusual offering -- bear meat. The vending machine is installed near the entrance to the Tazawako Ichi local product shop near JR Tazawako Station, where the Akita Shinkansen and other trains stop. The meat of locally captured wild bears is mainly purchased by bullet train passengers, and there have apparently also been inquiries from people in the Kanto region around Tokyo who want to buy it by mail order. The machine displays pictures of lean and fatty meat, with a sign saying, "open 24 hours," "black bear," "bear meat" and "2,200 yen (about $17) for 250 grams." The bears are captured in the mountains of the city by members of a local hunting club and processed at a slaughterhouse. The vending machine was installed in November 2022 by people assoc

Less Lethal Wolf Ammo? Roughly 30 local ranchers gathered at the fairgrounds in Carey, Idaho, last week to talk wolves. But this was far from the typical wolf discussion. The workshop, possibly the first of many hosted by Defenders of Wildlife, took an unusual and widely unacknowledged tack: Don't shoot the predator, protect the prey. The morning served as a crash course in a host of non-lethal deterrents to wolf predation, from guard dogs to grazing rotations. It also marked the first attempt by Defenders to share with the public lessons learned over the past three years by the Wood River Wolf Project. Defenders of Wildlife spokeswoman Suzanne Stone says the project has field-tested numerous tools for decreasing livestock losses to predators, an approach that replaces the habit of killing problem animals with the concept of coexistence. "If you do nothing and kind of rely on the traditional lethal control methods routinely used by [U.S. Department of Agriculture] Wildlife Services f

French court overrules government on bird hunting licences France’s top administrative court has suspended new permits given out by the government for traditional bird hunting. Monday’s decision by the Council of State ruled that hunting orders granted by the government earlier this month were likely to contravene European law. The ruling follows Intense lobbying by nature conservationists. “It's a great joy that the urgency has been recognised because the damage is irreversible in terms of hunting,” Muriel Arnal, of the NGO One Voice, told France Info radio. "It's important to know that there is justice, and that our ecosystems and biodiversity are protected." Activists say that 150,000 birds die annually in France from non-selective hunting techniques such as glue traps and nets at a time when Europe's bird population is in sharp decline. Tecnniques banned Over the summer the court banned a range of traditional techniques for hunting birds, including using nets, cages and glue

Dozens of drunk grizzlies hit by trains for decades Drunk grizzly bears have been hit by trains near Glacier National Park in Montana for decades. Spilled grain mixed with moisture from snow and rain equal the perfect concoction to both lure bears and dull their senses. This unfortunate equation means that the bears are too slow to outrun the trains heading their way. Fatalities linked to the fermented grain have been tallied since 1980 with a total of 63 grizzly bears killed along the rail line that stretches over Marias Pass and the Great Bear Wilderness, according to the Cowboy State Daily. This year, three have been killed so far, and, in 2019, which was the worst year on record, eight grizzlies were killed by trains. While two grizzly populations roam the Lower 48, the ones being impacted by trains come from the Northern Continental Divide grizzly population. Chuck Neal, a retired federal ecologist, says the spilled grain “can be a tempting treat for bears” and that “with enoug

Hunting in Finland Hunting is part of the traditional way of life and living in our northern nature. Finland was originally inhabited in pursuit of game and fish. It continues to be an important form of recreation and a means of getting food. The busiest hunting season starts on August 20, the opening of the water fowl hunting season. The Finnish Wildlife Agency has drafted a guide for foreigners for getting the required permits. In Finland, a hunter must pay the annual Game Management Fee. In addition, hunters must have a hunting permit for the area where they plan to hunt. For some game animals, such as elk, a hunting permit granted by the Finnish Wildlife Agency is required. Game animals may only be hunted in their assigned hunting seasons. Further information is available at The Finnish Wildlife Agency. Permits for hunting are granted by the owner of the land. On state-owned land, permits issued by Metsähallitus. Permits are available by calling the sales number +358 20 69 2424

The guide staff at the Flying B Ranch toyed with the idea of a wingshooting guide school for several years before launching the inaugural program in 2019. Such training had existed for some time in the fishing and big-game disciplines, but the unique skills required by bird guides were generally learned and refined on the job. The staff at the Flying B saw an opportunity to streamline the learning process and leverage the intellectual property they’d accumulated over decades.

ZIMBABWE'S TOURISM CRIPPLED BY EBOLA, TAX, AND A HUNTING BAN The Zimbabwe Tourism Council has reacted to this impending ban by expressing its disappointment with this action which might have substantial impact on the hunting industry and thus on the already crippled tourism industry of the country. USA is the biggest market for Zimbabwe’s hunting packages, which are likely to be affected, but the ban also causes fear that other countries will follow such example. The argument behind these fears is that hunters will be discouraged by the fact that they can’t import their hunted goods, and they will stop hunting altogether. The ban comes after a tourist shot ‘Cecil, the Lion’, a popular Zimbabwe attraction, and is only the latest in a growing list of bans on local hunting products.
