Arci Caccia Pisa and Arci Caccia Toscana express all their solidarity with the populations affected by the Monte Serra fire. Unfortunately, the madness of man has struck again, inflicting incalculable damage to the natural heritage, homes and productive activities. The only consolation is the certainty that, even if it takes a lot of time and money, the wound will certainly heal, the houses will be rebuilt and the mountain will turn green again. But it is necessary to invest in prevention: woods and fields must return clean and cared for !! These tragedies, unfortunately, do nothing but confirm the alarms that we have repeatedly launched and remained unheard: we need greater coverage of the territory and greater vigilance. For our part, we are ready to take up the challenge, making our volunteers and our supervisory agents available and collaborating with farmers, real architects of the control of the territory, to prevent new episodes of this kind.
Hunting, in the face of tragedies like this, certainly takes a back seat in the general interest, but our role as Hunting Association requires us to never lower our attention to our world, trying to make life as easy as possible for the hunters already affected by the fire. For this reason, we have taken action at the Region and the ATC 14 Western Pisa to solve the problem of relocation of those who practiced hunting in the territories that, crossed by fire, will become a hunting ban. If, in fact, there will be an overall reduction in the areas intended for hunting, the situation of the holders of fixed positions and of the wild boar hunting teams is particularly thorny, which, linked to the territory, need particular solutions. We are sure, although the priorities are undoubtedly other, that the Region and the ATC will respond promptly. Certainly Arci Caccia will talk about it in the public assembly already scheduled for 11 October at the Circolo Arci in Cascine di Buti, where we hope to be able to provide the first answers already.
