In the very first episode of We, the Hunters – a new podcast pilot from FACE – The European Federation for Hunting and Conservation – we, the hunters, speak for ourselves.

FACE Vice-President Linda Dombrovska (Baltics) joins FACE President Laurens Hoedemaker to explore why FACE’s work in Brussels is vital for hunters across Europe. With 80% of hunting-related legislation shaped at EU level, political presence matters.

This episode dives into:

• The growing presence of large carnivores, and why the claim “they never threaten humans” is not based in reality.
• What surveys show about public opinion on hunting, and why the loudest critics don’t speak for the majority.
• The role of the European Parliament’s “Biodiversity, Hunting, Countryside” Intergroup
• How hunters influence EU policy making.

We, the hunters, are not just part of nature. We’re part of the conversation.
