Security level
“The photograph that the mayors of the Vicenza area presented to us today is a situation known to us and which contrasts with the maximum level of protection offered to the Lupo at the level of European legislation. It is necessary to set a maximum sustainable number of specimens for each territory and a declassification of the level of wolf protection in order to be able to use more incisive tools and protect our mountain pastures, our territory and inhabited centres. All the tools we put in place, from monitoring, to purchase support to dissuasion devices, to compensation for predation, are demanding tools for the regional budget but not decisive for dealing with a situation that causes concern and which has national management and European. The wolf is a rapidly expanding species, it has descended into the plains and is demonstrating increasingly confident behaviour."
The municipalities of the Vicenza area
This was stated by the regional councilor for hunting, Cristiano Corazzari, who today received at Palazzo Balbi, together with the president of the Regional Council Roberto Ciambetti, the regional councilor Marco Zecchinato, a delegation of mayors representing 40 municipalities in the Vicenza area, led by the president of the Province of Vicenza, Andrea Nardin, to address the issue of the presence of the wolf in the area.
Conference of the Regions
Local administrators have pointed out that the number of raids is increasing sharply, with great concern from an economic point of view, with the fear of the abandonment of the mountain pastures by the herdsmen, and of social security due to increasingly confident behaviour. The administrators gave councilor Corazzari a letter with the request to bring the requests to national and European tables. “The Region is at your side - Corazzari said to the mayors -, also in light of this meeting we will once again bring the issue to the attention of the Conference of Regions with the aim of arriving at a document that establishes the state of health of the wolf in Italy and which allows you to set a maximum number of specimens for each territory. A Wolf Management Plan must be arrived at. The other effort must be made at European level to declassify the level of protection". (Source VENETO REGION)
