Three bears found shot dead in Florina region
Three bears have been found shot and killed near Sklithro, a village southwest of Greece’s northern town of Florina, in the past month.
The death of the bears, a protected species, has been confirmed by Arcturos, a nonprofit group which works for the conservation of the brown bear and its habitat.
All three crimes were committed inside a Natura 2000 protected area, the group said, urging the authorities to investigate the crimes.
“The ongoing impunity will regrettably lead to more killings of protected species,” Arcturos said.
