16 TIA RELJ IC THERE are many things over which hunters and conserva- tions could work on common grounds, BirdLife President Mark Sultana said, but this is highly unlikely when it comes to spring hunting. "The reason for this is that the issue of protecting birds migrat- ing to their breeding ground is a conservation value that we strongly believe in," he said. Sultana was reacting to points raised in an article titled To Ban or Not to Ban: Is That the Ques- tion?, published on Maltese we- bzine, Isles of The Left. The article by Brian Campbell and Diogo Verisimmo - respec- tively Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for So- cial Anthropology, and Oxford Martin Fellow at the University of Oxford - suggested, among other things, that conservation- ists and hunters ought to work together to strike a compromise on issues including spring hunt- ing, and that a referendum was only strengthening the divide between the two camps – even going as far as to say that the two camps have "developed a contentious history of nasty (and sometimes violent) encounters that only served to worsen how they view each other." "I'm not sure what the author is concluding here, but surely any nasty encounters were nev- er triggered by BirdLife Malta," Sultana said. "We never burnt trees, sprayed on historical mon- uments, destroyed cars, shot at wardens, or threw bottles at the facade of Castille, offending the prime minister and his wife." "One has to see goodwill from all sides of any issue in order to attain harmony and an accept- able balance. Unfortunately, the path chosen by Birdlife Malta couldn't be any further from achieving this goal," President of Saint Hubert Hunters (KSU) Mark Mifsud Bonnici said. Mifsud Bonnici went on to ex- plain that spring hunting was one of the special arrangements negotiated by Government with the EU Commission in acces- sion negotiations, and that the government at the time had the assurance of Birdlife on deroga- tion. "Since then, Birdlife's rational leadership succumbed to pres- sure from its international part- ners, who were literally ignorant of the reason for derogation, and literally went on the warpath against spring hunting," Mifsud Bonnici told this newspaper. Mifsud Bonnici said that KSU have no problem working on common grounds with ornithol- ogists (those who study birds). "We collaborate with an inde- pendent group of ornithologists that fell out with Birdlife Malta due to its aggressive stance," he said, explaining that the or- ganisation has embarked upon a project to install nest boxes as a result of this collaboration. A number of KSU hunters participate in bird photography with the group of ornithologists, and the organisation has also taken part in a series of lectures given by an ornithologist for hunters. "Yet nothing seems to ap- pease what can only be termed as an anti-spring hunting crusade by Bird- life Malta and its like- minded partners. Clearly there is no intention on their part to reach a com- promise and in their view the question whether to ban or not to ban is not up for discussion." But Sultana said that BirdLife, likewise, have had a num- ber of ad-hoc working experi- ences with hunters. When a number of swans needed help as they were stranded in a val- ley in Gozo, BirdLife organised feeding timetables which they shared with hunters until the birds regained their strength and flew off. 'We also partici- pated in tree planting activities and clean-ups with hunters," he said. "I do, however, think that it is time to sit around a table and get things clear to work on common ground. We could start by identifying what we do not agree on and cannot budge on, and agree to leave those maltatoday SUNDAY 29 APRIL 2018 mt "Can anyone reading this, right now?
