Explicit request
Reopening of the hunting area ibex in the Aosta Valley. This is the explicit request of the League through the regional councilor Christian Ganis, who made public a motion that refers to the ungulate and the territory of the northern region. What are the specific reasons?
Management measures
At European level, according to the Habitats Directive, the ibex is, like the Alpine chamois, the ibex is a "species of community interest whose collection from the wild and whose exploitation could be the subject of management measures" (see Annex V) and which therefore Member States can adopt exploitation measures as long as they are always compatible with its satisfactory conservation status, through the introduction of management plans.
Ibex Project
Furthermore, the National Union of Alpine Hunters (UNCZA) has recently promoted a study called "Ibex Project" which brings together all the studies promoted in recent years in our country on the Capra Ibex species. From the pages of the study it emerges that the ibex is a species now widely spread in the Alps, where more than 50.000 animals have been registered, of which 15.000 on the Italian side, numbers that justify the start of hunting management of the species.
