We are faced with aecological, social and security emergency of evident historical significance that involves numerous regions, including the Calabria. A phenomenon, the solution of which seems very complex in its resolution given the size reached. We are talking about the invasion of wild boars, which seem to have shed their fur of wild animals, to wear that of urbanized mammals. And in fact, we see them wandering undisturbed in farmers' fields causing extensive damage, we meet them in the neighborhoods north and south of the city intent on raiding garbage bags in search of food, they walk in herds on the roads putting the lives of motorists at risk, they chase people who come out of supermarkets because they feel the presence of nourishment and, they attack.
According to data from Ispra, the Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research, until a few years ago, the wild boar population in Italy was equal to 300 thousand heads. Today it has more than tripled, reaching over one million. Before the irreparable happens, since the presence of ungulates also in Catanzaro is becoming a real emergency with the risk of safety for citizens. According to Bruno Zito, manager of the Hunting, Fishing and Phytosanitary sector of the Calabria Region, “we are faced with a very complex approach to its resolution.
The proliferation is due to the fact that there have been hybridizations with non-native species that they have a very marked ability to reproduce and which have expanded into Calabria which is the fifth region in Italy for wooded area. Hence, wild boars have found a very favorable habitat. It must also be said that we have three national parks and one regional park which are protected areas in which hunting is prohibited. And this has considerably increased the phenomenon of reproduction "(Gazzetta del Sud).
