THEArch Hunting wrote to the competent Ministries for the activation of the provisions of National Tortora Management Plan and the request for a Table on KC. Hunting activity and hunters have the right to have guarantees for the next season and beyond and to be protected from the "stress" consolidated by appeals: The approval of the national wildlife plan for wild turtledove envisaged by the Birds Directive 2009/147 / EC requires rapid operation and can be an opportunity to overcome the conflict between environmentalist associations, hunting and agricultural business organizations. The "conflict" that derives from partisan interpretations harms the solutions of problems which unfortunately have been going on for some time.
The good will to build, to give certainty to a solid wildlife-hunting management system is overwhelmed by the incomprehensible "pleasure" of perpetual confrontation. A deleterious pursuit of demagogic revenge by each of the parties did not benefit the same categories involved, much less the interest of the country. This has been the story since 1992 and has not facilitated the task of the Regions. The "plan" highlights the need for a technical table for its correct application which sees the presence of the Ministries of Ecological Transition, Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies, ISPRA, Agricultural, Environmental and Hunting Associations. We believe that the reconstitution of a formal meeting and discussion venue is a positive and preparatory event for relations between stakeholders who can seek points of convergence.
In our opinion, the table should be set up and convened immediately also to open a discussion regarding the application of the Key Concepts. At that time, information, data and knowledge will be updated to give certainty in the hunting calendars, in a phase in which there are many open problems. Unfortunately and not by our will, the hunting associations do not have a unitary representation, democratically established and territorially articulated. To overcome the limits of involvement that have already been revealed in the Control Room at the MITE for the fight against poaching, an indispensable coordination for dealing with crimes against wildlife, we propose that "the table" be composed on the basis of the Technical Faunistic Hunting Committee provided for in art. 8 of law 157/92 certainly revisited and updated.
In this way, any discrimination will be overcome and the "level playing field" of the volunteering that will be in the field will be guaranteed. In this context, we recall the presence of a representative of ATC, CA and Park Authorities, “real managers” of the Wild Fauna entrusted to them on the basis of the existing legislation. Whether they are recognized as public or private bodies, they are also the ones who are delegated by regional laws and, they are the container where agricultural, environmental and hunting associations should develop common knowledge and management experiments.
