Compensation for damage caused by wild birds and animals

The law expands the list of animals for which farmers and fish breeders can receive compensation for damages. Twenty new species, mainly water and predatory birds, have been added. The institution responsible for damage assessment also changes – the National Support Centre for Agriculture takes over part of the cases.
Key points
New species covered: cormorants, cranes, geese, swans, ravens, crows, herons and other birds damaging crops and fish ponds.
Farmers report crop damage to the local branch director of the National Support Centre for Agriculture, not the regional environmental protection director.
Agricultural chambers and advisory units participate in damage inspections on agricultural land.
Damage caused by wolves, bears and lynx to unsecured livestock at night is not eligible for compensation.
