Millions of migratory birds are ruthlessly slaughtered on their way to their breeding grounds in Europe. More than 100 species are being illegally killed. Malta is one of the very worst offenders. The island is an important resting place for birds migrating over the Mediterranean, but during spring and autumn, hunters blast birds out of the skies in incredible numbers. Every year, many, many thousands of birds are shot or trapped there. What do we hope to achieve?Your donation will help support BirdLife Malta, the island's wild bird conservation body, so they can monitor the situation, pass evidence to law enforcement agencies, and teach future generations to cherish the island's wild birds. | The birds which arrive safely on our shores are the lucky ones, having avoided the hails of lead shot used in Malta. Why we need your helpTo support the people striving to protect wild birds in southern Europe |
