The VCF have an article about this fantastic news: https://4vultures.org/blog/eu-bans-the-use-of-lead-ammunition-in-wetlands/
From 15 February 2023 onwards, the use of lead ammunition became illegal in and around wetlands across all the EU 27 countries, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. The ban on lead ammunition, a toxic compound seriously affecting nature, wildlife and human health, is a meaningful step forward to protect the wildlife that falls victim to lead poisoning every year. But the total phase-out of lead ammunition for hunting continues to be a priority to help restore the populations of vultures and other scavenging species.
Fantastic news for Spain’s wetlands and wildlife if this law is policed and enforced
Living the dream!
