Arci Caccia: Alessandria, relaunch the Restocking and Capture Areas; the study of the University of Alexandria.
The serious crisis in the productivity of hares and pheasants, which occurred in recent years in the Restocking and Capture Areas, led the provincial councilor to hunt ing. Hon. Lino Rava to instruct the University of Alessandria to elaborate a study on all 64 ZRC existing in the province in order to better understand their territorial and environmental validity as well as the optimal forms of management to be able to have quality fauna to repopulate the territories of planned hunting. The first part of the study was completed and delivered to the Province and the Hunting Associations and the Provincial Government, in the session of 24 June 2014, already adopted it. The project concerns the revision of the ZRC of the province of Alessandria and was drawn up by our University and directly by professors Malacarne and Cuccu and their collaborators and will be implemented in the coming years as the ZRC will expire.
The study started from the data provided by the managers of the ZRC and processed by the provincial offices and the University. Important work has been done where confirmation or overcoming of the ZRC, modification of boundaries, as well as definition of management guidelines are proposed. It is a very qualified job and ARCI Caccia wants to thank the Province and its offices and the University for the professionalism it has put in place and which will allow us to build a new relationship with the Associations and with the ATCs.
The phase that will follow will be of great commitment and will call all interested parties - primarily the managers - to work constructively and in absolute management transparency, regarding the quality of the fauna and the correctness of the financial statements of the individual ZRCs. As ARCI Caccia we will give our contribution to innovate the forms of management and thus give the hunters of the province of Alessandria quality fauna that puts an end to the repopulation made with breeding hares and pheasants and new dignity to the hunting passion.
