Careful Handling of Building-Nesting Birds
Some bird species build their nests on or in buildings. This can give rise to conflicts of interest between the needs of the birds and human demands. A new decision-making guide is intended to help find the right approach to dealing with bird nests, while at the same time lending a helping hand to building-nesting birds.
Living Space for Birds Is Shrinking
Common swifts, house sparrows, house martins and barn swallows nest on buildings. Modern buildings, however, offer hardly any suitable nesting sites, while older ones are being renovated. As a result, numerous nesting sites are lost every year.
Digital Decision-Making Guide
The Swiss Ornithological Institute has developed a decision-making guide to assist with the correct handling of bird nests. Nests containing eggs or chicks are protected by law. More on the topic of bird protection and species conservation.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: What the research says about this is shown by Hunting fact-checked: the state of research.
The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
