| English synopsis: The conflict between cormorant and human dates back many decades, perhaps centuries. This bird was completely exterminated from Hungary by the beginning of the twentieth century, and although it returned later, its population did not begin to increase until the 1990s. In addition to economic damage, the fish traders concerned also talk about ecological damage and overgrowth, but the scientific data say something different. This report documentary features both "prosecution" and "protection". |
