Coldiretti asks that the Umbria Region implement the Extraordinary Plan for the containment of wild boars.
During a meeting in Perugia between Coldiretti and the hunting associations, Anuu, Arcicaccia, Federcaccia, Enalcaccia, Italcaccia and Libera Caccia, to take stock of the situation on the damage caused to agricultural crops by wildlife and in particular wild boar species, the need emerged that the Umbria Region fully implement the Extraordinary Plan for the containment of wild boars, ensuring availability and commitment so that the set objectives are met.
In fact, there is now a common awareness that it is necessary to act without further delay, with every useful and effective initiative and tool, to stem and contain in a physiological context a situation that, otherwise, risks irreversibly compromising the delicate balance between agriculture and hunting.
During the initiative - informs Coldiretti - which also gave rise to a letter with which the hunting associations and Coldiretti Umbria, requested a special meeting with the Regional Councilor for Agriculture Fernanda Cecchini, also involving the Umbrian Provinces and ATCs, was reiterated the need to insist on damage prevention, so as to limit compensation, focusing precisely on management and abatement plans.
As can be seen from the letter sent to Cecchini - explains Coldiretti - the opportunity to ensure coordination between the interventions to be carried out within the protected areas and / or private institutes and those to be carried out in the territory on programmed hunting is underlined, at aim to avoid the so-called "sponge effect".
Furthermore - according to Coldiretti and the hunting associations - as far as possible, always taking into account the criterion of the contextuality of the interventions, it is essential that the hunting exercise of the wild boar species takes place in the same period where contiguous regional territories are involved.
