The FACE Report

MARCH 2026

Message from Secretary General

Dear Members and supporters,

March was an exceptionally busy and productive month for FACE and its Members.

A particular highlight was the opportunity to bring together our Members from across Europe in Copenhagen, Denmark, for our spring Members’ Meeting, kindly hosted by the Danish Hunters’ Association. This meeting provided an important opportunity to strengthen coordination, exchange views, and discuss the wide range of policy and conservation files currently affecting hunting across Europe.

In Brussels, FACE has continued to engage on a range of important files, including developments relating to sustainable bird hunting, large carnivore management, firearms and ammunition policy, wildlife health, and habitat restoration.

March also saw significant developments across several policy files at the international level, where FACE participated in a range of discussions relevant to hunting and conservation in Europe at the UN Convention on Migratory Species global meeting in Brazil. These included both technical and high-level discussions with government representatives and stakeholders.

We hope you enjoy the March monthly report, and thank you for your continued support.

Warm regards,

Dr. David Scallan
FACE Secretary General
