The Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF) will suspend the permit for the Torrebela Hunting Zone in Azambuja, with immediate effect, presenting the public prosecutor with a report of a crime against the preservation of fauna.
"The ICNF will immediately suspend the Torrebela Tourist Hunting Zone licence (No. 2491-ICNF), following the slaughter of 540 animals on that surrounded farm. The investigations carried out by the ICNF made it possible to gather strong evidence of non-compliance by the concessionaire of the hunting area, particularly those relating to the promotion and sustainable management of fauna, among other failures", says statement issued by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Action.
