Hunting Federation and the other associations belonging to the Unitary Control Room of the Apulian hunting world (Enalcaccia, AnuuMigratoristi, Arci Caccia, National Free Hunting Association, Italcaccia, Game Producers and Hunting Fishing Environment) turned to the Councilor for agriculture Donato Pentassuglia - and for information to the President of the Puglia region Michele Emiliano - regarding the note from the Ministry of Ecological Transition to ask him to take action so that the Puglia Region works to achieve a technical agreement with the other Regions and Autonomous Provinces for the adoption of a single and national “Management Plan of the wild dove Streptopelia turtur ".
“This choice - reads the letter - would make it possible to remedy the 'feared' moratorium on hunting on the species in question - subject to sampling in our region especially in pre-opening - declared in the same note in the face of 'a lack of agreement reached at the Permanent Conference for relations between the State, the Regions and the Autonomous Provinces of Trento and Bolzano' or worse still based on a simple 'recommendation' from the European Commission on January 22 last year to all Member States'… to adopt adequate measures to guarantee the conservation of species in decline or in a poor state of conservation.
