" Regional Council of Calabria - reports the President of Coldiretti Calabria Franco Aceto - approved resolution 314 of last July 21 which contains "Determinations regarding the control procedures ofwild boar emergency". We appreciate the timeliness with which the Regional Council on the proposal of the Councilor Gallo has kept the commitments made in front of the farmers on the occasion of the Coldiretti manifestation of the last July 8 in front of the Regional Citadel. The adopted resolution allows simplification for the containment and control of wild boars.
This - continues Aceto - is an important step forward in possibility of carrying out timely and effective action in the control of wildlife, in the most delicate moment of the agricultural campaign. We thank the president of the Giunta Nino Spirlì, the councilor Gallo and the regional councilors who intervened who demonstrated with the facts the closeness and the listening to the world of the countryside but also to the citizens and mayors who participated in the flash mob". Coldiretti had made the big voice heard on the phenomenon of wildlife and in particular of the wild boars that are raging in the countryside destroying land, crops, fences, also attacking animals and also pushing into cities, conquering urban spaces and putting people in danger.
In fact - explains Aceto - the possibility has been introduced for the Regions to directly authorize, if necessary, the owners or tenants in any capacity of the funds in which damage has been ascertained, or their delegates, to carry out the activities of capture and killing of the wild boar species, with the control of the local police bodies and the territorially competent Carabinieri. This is an important first step that demonstrates the objectivity of the problem, felt not only in the countryside but also by citizens and institutions. Coldiretti - continues Aceto - the battle will continue to return to a balanced coexistence between agricultural businesses and wildlife.
The unbridled proliferation of wild boars - notes Aceto - is also putting on the environmental balance of vast territorial ecosystems is at risk and this is now certified by studies and experiences relating to the high density of wild boars even in areas of high naturalistic value where there are significant critical issues in particular as regards the relationship between the growth of the wild population and vegetation. A situation that has seen considerable damage to productions and the companies to sometimes leave the land uncultivated, distorting the production structure of the areas with the risk - he concludes - that the presence of farmers will cease, especially in inland areas, and with it the constant maintenance work that also guarantees the protection from hydrogeological instability.
