In the framework of our Balkan Anti-poisoning project, a team from the Albanian Ornithological Society (AOS) went to the south of Albania between 9-12 September to investigate cases of wildlife poisoning to bring a spotlight on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Investigating Wildlife Poisoning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-5 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/11-9.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"568\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/11-9-1024x568.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12407\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/11-9.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=12407\" class=\"wp-image-12407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/11-9-1024x568.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/11-9-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/11-9-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/11-9.png 1459w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/22-8.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"776\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/22-8-1024x776.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12408\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/22-8.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=12408\" class=\"wp-image-12408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/22-8-1024x776.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/22-8-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/22-8-768x582.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/22-8.png 1081w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/33-6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"758\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/33-6-1024x758.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12409\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/33-6.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=12409\" class=\"wp-image-12409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/33-6-1024x758.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/33-6-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/33-6-768x568.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/33-6.png 1093w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/44-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/44-3-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12410\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/44-3.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=12410\" class=\"wp-image-12410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/44-3-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/44-3-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/44-3-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/44-3.png 1449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/55-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/55-2-1024x577.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12411\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/55-2.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=12411\" class=\"wp-image-12411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/55-2-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/55-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/55-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/55-2.png 1451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Investigating Wildlife Poisoning (c) AOS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team spent four days in the south of Albania, visiting 23 villages in five main regions (Pogradec, Kor\u00e7\u00eb, Ersek\u00eb, P\u00ebrmet, Gjirokast\u00ebr) and filled a considerable number of questionnaires. Their main target group was local shepherds as using poison baits for the eradication of predators, which can often cause livestock damages to shepherds and livestock breeders, is the most common type of wildlife poisoning in the Balkans, according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/balkan-poison-study-press-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Balkan Vultures Poison Study<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes it is difficult to gain any information from the interviewees relating to illegal wildlife poisoning because they are suspicious and careful with the information they provide, but this was not the case this time. The team was lucky enough to gain some invaluable insights, with some of the shepherds confirming the existence of poisoning as a method to control predators, such as bears, wolfs, etc. Meanwhile, others mentioned shooting and trapping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What caught their attention during this investigation was the fact that most of the shepherds in regions, such as P\u00ebrmet and Gjirokast\u00ebr, relied only on their dogs to protect their livestock because they already know that poisoning is not selective, it can kill dogs as well as wolfs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-1-46.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12412\" width=\"1030\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-1-46.jpg 670w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-1-46-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><figcaption>Interviewing one of the shepherds (c) AOS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the shepherds interviewed on the last day of their investigation, said: &#8220;It&#8217;s better for me to lose one sheep than one dog&#8221;.

This work will support those organisations to improve the skills and capabilities in the detection and mitigation of poisoning incidents through the implementation of previously developed National Roadmaps and Strategies. More specifically, through these small grants we endeavor to secure the implementation of priority anti-poisoning actions listed in the National Anti-Poisoning Road-maps\/Strategies, strengthen the capacities of relevant national governmental institutions in combating the illegal use of poison baits, improve the enforcement of relevant legislation and attract other funding opportunities for implementation of large-scale anti-poisoning projects in the region.
