"No a buffer measures as announced and which you deliberately want to believe are reassuring and problem solving. These measures have absolutely not solved the excessive and invasive presence of wild boars, cause of so much damage to crops, to the health protection of zootechnical farms and to the safety and security of citizens, damaging, among other things, the right of farmers to cultivate the fields. A decisive and targeted action is needed on the part of the Region avoid the definitive abandonment of agricultural activities by many farmers'. Coldiretti Calabria has been asking for it in a loud voice for almost five years.
They have been set up - they denounce Franco Aceto and Francesco Cosentini, president and director of Coldiretti Calabria - one-off measures that have not had a structural impact on the definition of the emergency that has worsened. Of course - they continue - the “zero boars” measure is not asked, which is not possible, but dangers and zero damage it can and must be done ". Coldiretti asks to get hold of the regional regulations that date back to twenty-two years ago and which were designed for the protection and protection of wildlife, in order to reconstitute the wildlife heritage and which today evidently have proved no longer suitable.
It is necessary for Coldiretti to redefine the areas suited and not suited to wild boar using Arcea data and therefore to free up the non-suited areas which are the agricultural ones, authorizing and encouraging control and abatement plans, not only possibly extending the hunting period with the rotation of the hunting teams but also authorizing actions that can be implemented by the farmers themselves (in compliance with the laws and regulations in force). “It is necessary to make important steps forward - conclude the president and director of Coldiretti - to ensure the right protection of the work of who earns a living in the countryside and the safety of people ".
