The link between hunting and conservation is widely recognised. However, there has not been any European-wide project to demonstrate the conservation efforts undertaken by over 7,000,000 hunters.

In response to the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, FACE has delighted to launch its new Biodiversity Manifesto, which is Europe’s first evidence-based platform showing how Europe’s hunters conserve biodiversity.

The platform, which is hosted on BiodiversityManifesto.com, offers a new, user-friendly platform with information on hunting-related conservation initiatives throughout Europe.

The substantial and growing database of over 470 hunting-related conservation projects shows the importance of hunters’ efforts within and outside protected areas, on a variety of different habitat types and species.
