They have been well 80 the accessions that have arrived for the performance of the functions of selecontrollers and adjutors to support the provincial police staff for the collection of deer and wild boar in the reserve Pian of Spain. For the first year of interventions contemplated by the management plan, 40 are foreseen: in detail 25 will be selecontrollers, which are hunters authorized to intervene with weapons, and 15 coadjutors, helpers called to lend a hand in laying the roof terraces, arranging the nets and carrying out other similar complementary actions. With a few months delay, the game containment project in reserve area, where farmers are increasingly desperate, is about to leave.
"There will be three meetings of the course for selecontrollers and assistants - explained the director, Pietro Lenna, during a special press conference, convened precisely to present the initiative - We have decided to admit all 80 applicants, while initially fielding half of them. For deer, the plan is three years, even for wild boars five years and in the years to come there will obviously be a need for everyone's contribution ». «The deer population now has a number of heads that is close to 400 - said Lenna -; wild boars are in the order of a few dozen, but as we all know they are much more devastating and we need to intervene immediately ».
For the president of the managing body, Roberto Vignarca, this is a great result: «This management plan, drawn up within a year, is extraordinary - he said -. We have a good relationship with the Region and the Provinces and also Ispra (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research) gave a favorable opinion on its implementation. The collection of garments will be entrusted to the provincial police officers of Como and Sondrio and as a Reserve we have taken care to organize courses for selecontrollers and assistants, figures who will prove to be of useful help "(The province of Como).
