Heba Press – A. Mahyawi
Civilian activities working to protect endangered birds informed Heba Press of random hunting operations targeting rare birds in Khenifra province.
These events indicated a significant decrease in the numbers of these birds, to the point that their presence in Morocco has become rare compared to previous years. On the other hand, official authorities consider that these birds have already begun to disappear, but those who violate the law ignore this.
In this context, a Royal Gendarmerie patrol at the judicial roadblock in Moulay Bouazza, Khenifra province, arrested today, Sunday, December 29, a sniper in possession of endangered birds. After the inspection, it was found that the sniper had captured a goldfinch, which is an elegant bird and an important natural heritage which, along with other plant and animal species, is part of Morocco’s ecological identity.
Members of the Royal Gendarmerie quickly informed the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Water and Forestry services who monitored these persistent violations, emphasizing the need to fight against these practices which threaten biodiversity and contribute to the degradation of natural heritage.
