Official documentation
Yesterday, November 21, the treasurer of the municipal FIdC section of Forlì Giovanni Bucci spotted and documented the presence of 5 Hermit Ibis in the locality of Pieve Salutare, in the municipality of Castrocaro Terme, in the province of Forlì.
The protection of the species
The national FIDC thanked Federcaccia Forlì and Dr. Ermes Paganelli for the news, recommending maximum attention to the protection of these specimens, as is known part of the international Life project, also supported by the German Hunters' Federation.
The most recent censuses
This species has been in the news just a few days ago. Thanks to extensive conservation measures, the Alps have slowly repopulated in recent years and in 2022 there were around 200 specimens. Also in light of this, the most recent studies are optimistic about the possibility that this extraordinary bird species can successfully re-establish itself in Europe in the long term.
