Measuring progress in nature conservation against the CBD and PEBLDS

Anti-poaching campaign in Croatia

A new hunting law is proposed in Croatia, which is much worse than the former law. Green Action (GA) has prepared a position paper on the law and a press release for the media. The position paper has been sent to the Parliamentarians and GA has negotiated with one parliamentarian to present their position during the debate. It was broadcast on TV and radio stations, as well as published in some daily papers. The topic has caused reaction from public, too, as people are phoning Green Action and providing examples and data on poaching and law violation. The action has been successful, as the law proposal has not been adopted in the fast procedure, but slowed down in the normal procedure, meaning that it would go through two to three readings.

Right now GA is preparing comments on the proposal of the new law and advocating for better lawmaking with reference of national commitments under the CBD, CITES, Bern Convention.

In autumn GA will print a brochure and start with education activities as well.
