Environmentalists had identified several poachers on the peninsula, who were shooting illegally migratory birds, protected during the spring season and on Good Wednesday, went to the scene for research.

There, the masked poachers, according to reports, attacked members of the mission of ornithologists to be injured in the hospital.

We wish the victims of the attack quickly and demand the complete investigation of this incident of unprecedented wilderness. Justice must immediately punish the perpetrators.

When the control mechanisms have been deforested and there is no control over illegal hunting and even in a real ecological biodiversity such as Zakynthos, the results are sad. Armed armed groups to terrorize abuse of physical scientists and killing mass migratory birds by affecting the ecosystem. «
