During the reception, Galmés presented them with a siurell and congratulated them on their success in the national competitions. He also stressed ‘the importance of maintaining and promoting these traditional disciplines, which form part of our island’s hunting and cultural heritage, as hunting is not only a tool for the sustainable management of the environment and the control of biodiversity, but also a practice that is passed down from generation to generation, keeping alive the customs and values of the Mallorcan rural world’. For his part, the Minister for the Environment, Rural Affairs and Sports, Pedro Bestard, reiterated the Consell de Mallorca’s commitment to the hunting sector.
