A serious problem for the Maremma
"For years, Bye Grosseto draws the attention of local and national politicians to the excessive proliferation of wild boars, ungulates and other wild animals, recognizing this phenomenon as a serious problem for the Maremma and not only for the agricultural sector, but for the entire community. With this awareness and without prejudice - states Claudio Capecchi, president of Cia Grosseto - we carefully examined the presentation of the Hunting Faunal Plan and, in line with what was underlined by Cia Toscana, we identified some critical issues and proposed a series of improvements". Capecchi returns to talk about this problem, also in reference to the plague of predation, which has pushed the Grosseto Confederation to repeatedly urge the relevant bodies, at local, regional and national level, to intervene promptly, remembering that «we offer all the collaboration necessary to find urgent and effective solutions that guarantee territorial sustainability and the protection of agricultural and livestock production".
Agricultural priorities and needs
For this reason, the president urges the institutions to quickly implement the Plan, placing agricultural needs, sustainable coexistence with wildlife and, another burning issue, careful monitoring of the spread of epizootics and understanding their effects at the center of the priorities. impact on agriculture. «To protect their production, farmers must adopt rapid and safe wildlife control procedures. It is therefore essential to strengthen these measures, especially considering the decline in the number of hunters who have historically contributed to maintaining the balance of the ecosystem through ordinary hunting.
Social and environmental support
Today - Capecchi points out - it is clear that ATCs must collaborate closely with farmers, taking both interests into consideration and involving all decision-making levels. Only such a synergy becomes crucial to ensure that the paths adopted respect the needs of both parties. Furthermore, it is essential to ensure the safety of rural areas not only to protect crops and farms, but also to support these communities socially and environmentally. It is also crucial to understand the impacts of climate change on animal behavior and hunting, promoting an integrated and timely approach that takes into account these evolving environmental challenges. In summary – concludes the president of Cia Grosseto – I invite you to adopt a strategic approach that takes into account evolving environmental challenges and promotes a sustainable future for Tuscan agriculture. This includes the promotion of a flexible hunting calendar, constant monitoring of wildlife and immediate assessment and compensation of agricultural damage suffered" (source: CIA Grosseto).
