On Wednesday, October 19th small demonstration will take place in the front of Polish Ministry of Nature Protection, Natural Resources and Forestry. The new government in Poland has just formed and we have new Minister of Nature Protection, Mr. Jan Szyszko. On Wednesday, we want to give him petitons with 15000 sigantures that we collected. We want Minister to make wolves in Polnad protected animals. There only few hundreds wolves in Poland,. they are protected everywhere but Bieszczady Mountains, where there are about 150 of them. This year local autorithies in Krosno set the bag limit for Bieszczady for this winter to 93 individuals!!! Imagine, 93 of about 150 wolves. It means that death of whole population. The second problem is that when wolves are not protected, local livestock breeders don't get any compensations if wolves sometimes attacks sheeps or goats. So taking wolves under protection is important also for breeders as well as for environmentalists. My organization is against hunting, but we can understand killing some individuals every year. I repeat, we are against it, cannot accept it, but we can understand that it is difficult to fully protect wolves. But we absolutely cannot agree of killing about 80% of population. Please help us save Polish wolves. Write, fax or mail to Minister of Nature Protection: Mr. Jan Szyszko Minister Ochrony Srodowiska ul. Wawelska 52/54 00-922 Warszawa, Poland phone +48 22 250001 fax +48 22 254705 !!!! very important !!!! e-mail: info@mos.gov.pl and demand wolves in Poland to be fully protected EVERYWHERE, it menas that in Bieszczady (Krosno Province) also. -------------------- 16.01.98 Killing wolves was officialy stopped for this winter by ministery of environment protection. 20 individuals were killed according to official datas. 5w,K"q%Qr*Y*a+a 0Bn<B  T  W  `    & C W p CE[]h   & C W p CE[]h Arial CEimes attacks sheeps or goats.
