airlines 7 support
The World Wildlife Fund has announced that BO AC, along with 50 other major airlines, is supporting a ban on the hunting of rare birds and animals.
The airlines have backed a resolution calling for an end to all travel which involves hunting expeditions that threaten scarce species.
The director of the World Wildlife Fund, Dr Fritz Vollmar, said that the airlines’ support was “very gratifying.
There are nearly 1,000 species of mammals and birds threaten ed with extinction through human activities”, he said.
