Amongthe proposals of the Foundation for the Conservation of the Bearded Vulture (FCQ) “for the improvement” of hunting management in Aragon, included in the allegations to the annual Hunting Plan elaborated by the Government of Aragon, we mWe maintain the suggestion regarding the necessary and obligatory Adequate Evaluation of the Hunting Plans, which are approved for the Hunting Preserves, which are included in the allegations to the annual Hunting Plan elaborated by the Government of Aragon.idWe insist that the necessary and obligatory Adequate Evaluation of the Hunting Plans, to be approved for the Hunting Reserves, which are totally or partially included in the Natura 2000 Network Spaces. We insist that the aAragonese administration, according to the the State Strategic Plan for Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, must approve before 2025 a before 2025 a regulation to progressively eliminate the use of lead in big game ammunition by 2030, and at the latest it will be extended to lead ammunition in small game..

In relation to turtledove hunting, we continue to insist on the need to maintain its closure. In the case of quail, we have observed its population decline, and we recommend that it be studied and adjusted. The company has established catch quotas for the sustainability of its hunting, collaborating with existing private initiatives.

For woodcock, the justification of hunting quotas has not been clarified. For fox hunting, the The regulation of the use of approved methods for their trapping has not been approved. For theFor the hunting of the goose, we suggest that it be suppressed due to the absolute decline throughout Aragon.We suggest that it be suppressed due to its absolute decline throughout Aragon, with a small population in the Gallocanta Nature Reserve.

In reference to wintering birds, such as thrushes, it is necessary to improve knowledge of their populations in order to adjust hunting pressure, taking into account the ecological importance of these birds.

In reference to wild boar, despite the fact that almost 50,000 specimens are hunted every year in Aragon, populations continue to grow, among other reasons due to the absence of natural predators, generating conflicts with agriculture, livestock, health and road safety. For this reason, we insist that a specific plan should be approved, like the one in Castilla y León.

The FCQ hopes that these and other considerations presented during the public information period will be taken into account in order to improve hunting management in Aragon.
