Wild geese overwintering in Hungary, cause significant damage to agriculture year after year mainly in the Trans-Tisza region, which may be mitigated by the recent amendment to the legislation on hunting seasons, the National Chamber of Agriculture (NAK) and the Hungarian Farmers’ Association in its joint communication.

The amendment unifies the hunting season for huntable wild goose species, in contrast to the previous practice, according to which their hunting could only start in December in some counties.

The organizations stressed in their statement that farmers are committed to conserving natural values, but for years it has been a source of conflict that the mass emergence of some animal species of conservation significance has caused serious economic problems locally. (MTI)
