Ambelopoulia Birds And People Cyprus Illegal Lime Stick Limestick Liming Birdlife
Caught in the Sticky Situation - BirdLife Field Officer Unveils Olive Grove's Secret Ambelopoulia Operation!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a thrilling encounter between our fearless BirdLife Field Officer and an illicit operation hidden amidst the picturesque olive groves of autumn Cyprus. With determination etched on his face, he holds up limesticks that were found set illegally, exposing a dark secret threatening both birds and people. As the sun casts its golden glow over the scene, it becomes evident that these innocent-looking limesticks hold a sinister purpose. Used to trap migratory birds during their long journeys, they are part of an illegal practice known as liming or ambelopoulia. But fear not! Our hero is here to put an end to this avian injustice! With each step through the grove, he unravels clues left behind by those who dare defy conservation laws. The air crackles with suspense as he uncovers evidence of countless bird species falling victim to these treacherous lime sticks. This photograph serves as a reminder that heroes come in all forms – even clad in khaki vests and armed with knowledge instead of capes. It captures the essence of BirdLife's tireless efforts to protect our feathered friends from harm while reminding us how crucial it is for humans and nature to coexist harmoniously. So next time you stroll through an olive grove bathed in autumnal hues, spare a thought for those working tirelessly behind the scenes like
