It starts with the killing. 22 20 from November to December a hundred hunters hired by Tuscan Archipelago National Park, will proceed with the removal of a few dozen mouflons living on theGiglio Island. This is foreseen by the Life LetsGo Giglio project, financed with 1,6 million euros, a good part of the European Union. According to the Tuscan Archipelago Park, in fact, the mouflons must be eradicated from the island because they are considered 'aliens', that is, not originating in the territory. And alien species are among the causes of biodiversity loss.
The project LETSGO GIGLIO "Less alien species in the Tuscan Archipelago: new actions to protect Giglio island habitats" is a project that has a very ambitious goal: to improve the quality and natural character of the ecosystem present on the Giglio Island, protecting the habitats and some species that live there, in line with the provisions of the Council Directive of 21 May 1992 (Directive 92/43 / EEC) Conservation of natural and semi-natural habitats and of wild flora and fauna known as the “Habitat” Directive.
