To make it known is the WWF Abruzzo which claims the first result of the campaign put in place to assert the right of citizens to ban hunting on their own land. Several tens of hectares of estate will be saved from the invasion of shotguns ”. The WWF had started after the approval of the Wildlife Hunting Plan of the Region a campaign to recognize the right of owners to prohibit hunting on their land.
The national legislation on the protection of homeothermic wildlife and on hunting collection provides in fact the possibility for the owner or tenant of a fund to request the exclusion of their land from the so-called scheduled hunting management by sending, within thirty days of the publication of the wildlife-hunting plan, a motivated request to the President of the Region. "Several citizens, guided by the indications provided by the Association, have submitted this request, tired of helplessly witnessing the passage of hunters up to the shelter of the houses, often having to give up the tranquility of being able to use their land to live, work or simply walk.
