The answer lies in research
While the usual anti-everythings continue to loudly and violently demand a ban on the harvesting of turtle doves , Federcaccia responds with research: a regulated management plan is needed that allows harvesting under controlled conditions, investments and actions shared with the institutions.
This is the point of view of FIDC number one, Massimo Buconi: “The turtle dove is a species that receives attention from the EU and presents difficulties, it is no coincidence that Italy is the only European country that has prepared a specific management plan. It is easy to predict that by banning hunting, no one will take care of managing these species anymore."
Buconi added: “There is a serious risk of extinction for these animals, but in that case it would not be the fault of hunting. We are against all this and would like to continue to keep the turtle dove harvest controlled and monitored. However, practical investments from ministries and regions are needed so that ATCs and farmers can carry out concrete actions".
