Description

This document is prepared within the framework of the BalkanDetox LIFE project (LIFE19GIE/NL/001016)
and relates to the deliverable “Study about the illegal use of poison in the environment of the Balkan
Peninsula”, defined under Action A.2: Preparation of the current review of the problem of illegal wildlife
poisoning in the Balkan Peninsula. This study is designed to provide a clear and up-to-date overview into
the current circumstances regarding the illegal use of poisonous substances and the detrimental effects this
illegal practice has on vulture populations and other wildlife species in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, the Republic of North Macedonia, and Serbia. Additionally, it represents a
baseline for monitoring the impact that actions implemented within this project and other similar conservation
initiatives towards diminishing the threat of illegal wildlife poisoning will have in the region, as well monitoring
of the change in perception about this practice among key stakeholder groups and socio-economic impact.
