JULY 2025
Message from Secretary General
Dear Members and supporters,
Welcome to our July update, where you’ll find news on how Europe’s hunters continue to lead on conservation, data, and policy.
This month, we released a new report on the numbers of ‘big game’ species hunted across Europe. This highlights the impressive scale of sustainable game management across Europe and serves as a powerful reminder of hunting’s ecological and socio-economic contribution.
We also highlight the ongoing European process on banning lead in ammunition, changes underway for wolf management and Europe’s farm policy as well as updates to EU Invasive Alien Species rules. There are also several other news items, including major wetland restoration projects funded by our Members and information about Europe’s hunting photo of the year competition.
As always, please follow us on @FACEforHunters to stay connected with Europe’s hunting voice.
Finally, we thank our Patrons for their continued support, and we’re pleased to see the Patron Programme growing. More on this below!
Enjoy the summer holidays!
Dr. David Scallan
FACE Secretary General
