Many aspects to explore further
Conserving biodiversity, limiting the spread of non-native, invasive, and problematic species. Managing the role of wild animals in the spread of diseases. Reducing the risk of road accidents involving wildlife. These are the key points of the preparatory work for the new Wildlife Hunting Plan. Emilia Romagna region Presented yesterday by Agriculture Councilor Alessio Mammi during the Economic Policy Committee chaired by Luca Giovanni Quintavalla. As Mammi explained, the new plan must take into account the increasing average age of hunters, with the resulting decline in their overall number, and the resulting effects on selectors' activities and containment plans.
Situation update
The Region is thus taking the first steps toward the new Regional Wildlife and Hunting Plan: with a resolution dated March 16, the Regional Council approved the preliminary documents needed to initiate the Strategic Environmental Assessment process for the preparation of the new Plan. A consultation on these documents will begin, leading to the definition of the new Wildlife and Hunting Plan. Councilor Mammi's briefing also provided an update on the African swine fever situation within the Corno alle Scale Park, in the Bologna metropolitan area, as requested by Marta Evangelisti (FdI).
African swine fever
"I would like to know what the situation is with African swine fever in Lizzano in Belvedere, in the Bologna metropolitan area," explains Evangelisti. The council's experts responded to this question by emphasizing that "fortunately, the situation is under control now, and there hasn't yet been a confirmed case of African swine fever in Lizzano in Belvedere." Daniele Valbonesi (Democratic Party) expressed support for the council's work, while Fausto Gianella (FdI) called for action to be taken to prevent incidents involving wild animals and to pay attention to the Po Delta area, particularly due to the presence of non-native animals such as deer, which are causing damage to the flora (source: Emilia Romagna Region).
