The Management Committee ofTerritorial hunting area 4 Ovadese Acquese, whose headquarters is located in Acqui Terme (province of Alessandria) has launched an appeal to the hunters it concerns the wolves present in this area of Piedmont. The request was made together with theATC 3 Curone, Grue, Borbera Valleys. In a nutshell, volunteers are needed to collect the signs and evidence of the presence of these animals.
The goal is not to miss the territorial reporting, so as to facilitate the monitoring and estimation of the wolf consistency. For years now, several packs of wolves have been sighted in Acqui Terme: in the Alessandria area, the animals have spread mainly between the Parco delle Capanne di Marcarolo and the area between the Valli Curone, Borbera and Lemme.
ATC 4 occupies the South-West portion of the province of Alessandria: the territory has the typical characteristics of the Apennines, with valleys of rivers and streams that are shaped by small side valleys. Much of the surface falls within the Ligurian-Piedmontese Apennine sector. Now it will be necessary to see if the SOS will be followed by a sustained intervention by the hunters.
