The management of large game is a significant issue for the balance of ecosystems and rural areas. In Belgium, certain species such as wild boar, red deer, and roe deer require careful monitoring to maintain balanced populations and limit impacts on crops and forests.
The Federation of Big Game Hunters of Belgium, often called FCGGB, brings together passionate hunters committed to the responsible management of big game species.
This federation acts to promote responsible hunting, improve knowledge of animal populations, and encourage exchanges between the stakeholders involved in the management of big game.
