An important verification based on specific cognitive frameworks, presented in a series of videoconference appointments, where the new management proposals and regulatory. In terms of number and extent, these are important realities with a high environmental value, where hunting is also one of the activities subject to specific regulation or, as in some cases, considered among the activities not allowed.
In order to encourage a timely contribution to the work presented, the Confederation of Tuscan Hunters has sent in recent days, to the competent offices, a document that, in addition to addressing in general terms, the impact and the compatibility of the hunting activity on the management of ecosystems and environments of particular value, the objective is also to integrate and modify some specific measures concerning the species or more generally the area concerned.
Example is that ofuse of lead, culling in containment or the fight against poaching, etc. However, this is a first contribution to which further considerations and proposals may be added in the course of the process. On these aspects, we have already requested a meeting with theCouncilor for the Environment of the Tuscany Region Monica Monni.
