Feathered Felons - A Snapshot of the Illegal Trapping Underworld in Cyprus!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, wildlife photographer David Tipling exposes the dark side of bird trapping in Cyprus. The image showcases a chilling collection of seized dead birds, victims of an illegal trapping operation that has shocked conservationists worldwide. Amongst the unfortunate captives are migratory marvels like the Cuckoo, Blackcaps, Spotted Flycatchers, Leeser Whitethroat, Masked Shrike, and Willow Warblers. These innocent creatures were ruthlessly trapped for a sinister purpose - to satisfy the demand for ambelopoulia; a forbidden delicacy known only to those who dare tread on the wrong side of the law. The photograph serves as a stark reminder that even our winged friends are not immune to criminal activities. It highlights both their beauty and vulnerability while shedding light on the tireless efforts made by organizations such as the Game Fund in Republic of Cyprus area to combat these illicit practices. As we gaze upon this haunting tableau frozen in time, let us remember that every life matters - be it human or avian. Together, we can ensure that future generations will witness these magnificent creatures soaring freely across our skies rather than being confined within cages meant for their demise. Kudos to David Tipling for capturing this poignant moment and igniting conversations about wildlife preservation!
