The species Boar it has now occupied, without interruption, every ecosystem on a national scale. Even densely populated areas. The situation in Rome is emblematic. Unfortunately, in recent years, the continuous ecological transformations of the habitats have favored the species and have contributed significantly to the reproductive success of the wild boar. Suitable management policies are not followed a contain the reproduction and the lack of "cleanliness" of the green and the accumulation of garbage in large cities have contributed greatly. Today, we can say with determination that the hunting management of the Boar has failed and got out of hand. The situation of Rome is the example.
The non-management of the species in ATCs and Protected areas it has produced an uncontrollable population, which has strongly impacted agricultural production and society. Not to mention the ancient practices of uncivilized repopulation finally banned. To date, it is not difficult to hypothesize that, already in the near future, a positive demographic evolution of the wild boar population could be favored, both in terms of territorial expansion and in terms of increase in stocks. Serves, with determination, a sudden change of pace. How to intervene effectively and as a matter of priority for Rome? It is certainly not our task (of the hunters) to intervene in the urban context, and within the "walls".
Except collaborate in sightings and place the "cages". A synergistic, secular and continuous application of all possible forms of hunting and control of the species (hunted, shot and selection) in the territories with programmed hunting, will be able to contribute significantly in the path that leads to the solution of the problem. We immediately invite the Regional Administration to create a buffer of at least a few kilometers around the cities and urban centers of "not suitable" area to the species in which "eradication of the wild boar" must be the watchword. And this not only the Lazio administration.
The goal today is to confine the African swine fever which seems to advance in the country in kilometer leaps and not on the legs of wild boars, but in another way unknown to us but which involves other activities of "homo sapiens", transport, travel, import of food, etc. The emergency now is to save the farms, and, consequently, all the pig industries encircling and isolating the wild in the red zone. ARCI Caccia, we reiterate, puts itself at the complete disposal of the competent authorities and of the Agricultural and Breeders Associations to collaborate, through its women and men, in every action that will be useful to stop the spread of ASF (Gabriele Sperandio - Table Coordinator Arci Caccia "PSA Emergency").
