Unfortunately, Malta has developed a shameful reputation around Europe for the illegal hunting of birds and each year hundreds of migrating birds are systematically slaughtered. The island is a vital stepping-stone for birds on their exhausting journey northwards, hence this is not just an issue for Malta – effectively, the conservation efforts of many European countries are being hampered.

The island has been taken to the European Court of Justice for allowing the spring hunting of Turtle Dove and Quail since it joined the EU in 2004 but the authorities have still failed to convince local hunters to honour international bird protection laws. From a political standpoint, this issue is a nightmare as hunting association memberships are sizeable enough to wield significant influence through their collective voting power.

Our pro bono work for Birdlife Malta was designed to stimulate social conscience about this issue, allow people to demonstrate support and help raise vital funding. While  payment for this work won’t show up in our bank account, this does not mean we did not get paid – the pride and satisfaction gained from helping such a worthy cause is the kind of reward money just can’t buy.
