Less poaching detected in Flanders | Interior

Most PVs concerned the capture or killing of protected animal species, according to figures from the Agency for Nature and Forests. Their number fell from 51 in 2021 to 36 last year. 23 PVs were issued for hunting violations, compared to 36 in 2021.

The other four PVs are about fishing with prohibited gear. That is also less than in 2021, when 9 PVs were distributed. No PVs are drawn up for fishing without a fishing permit or during closed times, but so-called identification reports are. The number of these increased slightly to 245 compared to 232 in 2021.
