According to the national president of Arci Caccia, Osvaldo Veneziano, the hunting world can make an important contribution to resolving the Italian crisis.
Asking an intervention by the Minister of Agricultural Policies, Mario Catania, the president of Arci Caccia hopes for the end of the current "climate of frontal confrontation" and that "producing environmental well-being for our countryside" will begin.
Veneziano to the microphones ANSA states on the issue "The work carried out by the territorial hunting areas must be aimed at environmental restoration and the production of fauna in the area ".
Veneziano continues by suggesting, "Minister Catania must convene the technical hunting committee set up at his ministry - where environmentalists, hunters, farmers and regions are present - and must put the theme of investment in hunting GDP, that is to ensure that the more than 300 areas present in Italy invest resources in their territories".
Furthermore, says the president of Arci Caccia, "It is time for social management to take place, for the hunting areas to perform that" good-profit "function that the law entrusts to them: produce environmental wildlife well-being for our countryside".
Veneziano continues on the issue, "By giving birth to pheasants in Alexandria instead of importing them from Romania, for example, wealth is maintained within the country, resources are given to farmers and the landscape is enriched ”.
Finally Veneziano explains that the repercussions of this type of commitment would also be found on the tourism sector, as "if a tourist meets hares, roe deer and pheasants during a walk or a mountain bike excursion, he can only be happy".
At the request of Arci Caccia, Gianluca Bardelli, member of the National Wildlife Hunting Technical Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture, provided immediate comment., "The Arcicaccia's request arrives on time at the end of the hunting season and is a first step to apply legislation that incorporates the needs of farmers and ecologists in order to promote environmental protection, also accepting the legitimate expectations of hunters".
In addition, Bardelli still says, "The convening of the Committee will be essential to kick off the discussion on the draft guidelines also in order to apply EU regulations on birdlife and thus avoid further damage to agricultural crops ".
Finally Bardelli concludes, “After all only through the application of the guidelines can we get out of the uncertainty generated by the individual regional regulations".
