The 8th Session of the Meeting of the Parties (MOP8) to the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) will take place on 26-30 September 2022 in Budapest, Hungary.
Wildlife management in Hungary is exemplary
At the opening plenary session of the wildlife forum of the Collaborative Partnership on Sustainable Wildlife Management (CPW), the government commissioner said the legal framework that regulates hunting today was developed 5 years ago.
Mr Kovács encouraged participants of the conference to examine “the Hungarian way” because they may well find elements that they could also use in their own countries.
Regarding the motto of the World Exhibition, he observed that being one with nature means that the sustainable use of the natural environment must be ensured with all necessary and available means.
In her video message, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity Elizabeth Maruma Mrema said the Collaborative Partnership on Sustainable Wildlife Management is comprised of 14 international organisations. The partnership was established in 2013; its goal is to promote the sustainable management of terrestrial vertebrate wildlife through the preservation of biological diversity.
“As a forum created for nature conservation and hunting, the “One with Nature” Expo achieved internationally significant results, and accordingly the work we have begun is worth continuing from a professional perspective, but also from a social, foreign policy and national image perspective alike”, Mr. Kovács emphasised in Riga.
