"The important message is that we have to adapt the forest to climate change. We have to rejuvenate it. We will only succeed in doing this if the game populations are not excessively high and we get the damage caused by game under control. This is a social task that we can only achieve together. Hunting to date has not managed to do this in this form. Therefore, hunting must also adapt to these changed conditions. This is the only way we will be able to raise a young, vital forest."
