Start the wild boar selection hunt a Viterbo. In fact, despite the ordinance signed on May 27 by Zingaretti already authorized its execution "To prevent and contain damage to agricultural crops", in fact everything was still at a standstill because the Ada offices (decentralized agriculture area) which have the task of collecting expired cards and issuing new ones were still closed following thecovid emergency. A delay due to the adaptation interventions to the new safety regulations which lasted longer than expected. From Monday 15 June, as stated in a note on the Region's website, "the delivery and collection service of hunting and fishing cards is back active from 8,30 to 13, from Monday to Thursday, by appointment by calling 0651686672 ".
As the abatement plans for the year 2020-2021 have not yet been approved, the ordinance of the President of the Region extends the old plans. For Tuscia in total 718 heads, divided as follows: 378 in the four districts in which the Atc Vt1 is divided and 340 in those of the Atc Vt2. Will selection hunting be enough to contain the emergency? The effects will show in the end. Meanwhile, speaking of numbers, during the videoconference organized in recent days by the prefect with the mayors of the province, the regional councilor for agriculture Enrica Onorati and the technicians of theIspra (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research) data on accidents caused by ungulates in the province of Viterbo have been communicated.
In total, 2019 accidents were recorded in 64: 29 in the territory of the Atc Vt1 and 35 in the territory of the Atc Vt2. A clearly underestimated figure, as explained by the wildlife technician Paolo Viola: "These are only the requests for compensation sent to the Region, many accidents escape this count because insurances offer specific coverage for damage caused by wildlife ”. Compensation requests that over the years have been decreasing even for the very long times to get to the end of the process.
In the province, from north to south, the alarm remains high, especially in the towns that are close to parks and reserves, which act as a "nursery" for these animals. As in Calcata, a stone's throw from the Valle del Treja regional park: “The number of these animals is very high, the problem is that they now arrive inside the town. We would like to find a unique way to safeguard nature and public safety”, Said the mayor Sandra Profili. The mayor of Vitorchiano is also worried about this situation: "With us, hiking tourism is growing a lot, along the trails, I would not like there to be any consequences" (Courier of Rieti).
