Capellino Foundation, Legambiente, Lipu, and WWFThe same signatures were symbolically delivered to parliamentarians in the last few hours during a joint press conference.
The highlights
But what exactly are these associations asking for? Here are the key points:
• withdraw the Malan AS 1552 bill;
• do not extend hunting to new species and exclude species in poor conservation status from the huntable list;
• ban the cruelest practices, such as the capture of wild birds and the use of live decoys;
• ensure the centrality of independent science and the precautionary principle;
• strengthen the protection of biodiversity in compliance with biological cycles and the Constitution;
• provide greater safety to citizens who live and frequent peri-urban, rural and mountain areas.
A reform that is not convincing
Furthermore, the proponents argue that the various reform proposals put forward thus far would, on the contrary, introduce a general regression and relaxation in the protection of wildlife and public interest, thus conflicting with constitutional principles.
