A problem limited to the Veneto region? Not at all. Reading the latest news from the Northern Region, which will be implementing a new digital platform to cull coypus, it seems these rodents represent a serious emergency limited to that region. In reality, Sardinia, and particularly the province of Cagliari, are also struggling. It's no coincidence that the Metropolitan City is preparing a program to contain the species, drawing inspiration from regional guidelines.
The goal is to intervene primarily in wetlands, where damage to agriculture and hydraulic structures is most worrying. The measure has become too large after a woman and her dog were recently attacked in Nervi Park, necessitating intervention. The problem in Sardinia, however, remains the lack of natural predators, so coypu can proliferate here with complete peace of mind.
The new plan is based on more widespread interventions at the geographical level, paying particular attention to censuses and considering eradication as the last resort, especially in the case of isolated populations. Regarding city parks, the Metropolitan City of Cagliari intends to contact individual municipalities to determine how to proceed.
