It was held in Braccagni the Regional Hunting Conference called by the Councilor for Agriculture Marco Remaschi. After 10 years, the appointment represents a fundamental starting point in view of the drafting of the new Regional Hunting Wildlife Plan as well as to outline the main guidelines for future administrative, political and management choices for the coming months. The goal is clear, relaunch the Tuscan model through a path shared with the major stakeholders. The preparatory work for the Conference made it possible to identify the main criticalities but also the new challenges that await hunting in Tuscany. The political signal that emerged from the speech by Councilor Remaschi during the morning is clear: "Open a new phase and leave this appointment with a shared path ".
A clear signal that traces the will of the Tuscany Region to reverse the course with the aim of recovering a constructive dialogue that has been lacking for too long between institutions and intermediate bodies and that has caused over the years not a few problems on aspects of wildlife - environmental management. A political evaluation that the Confederation of Tuscan Hunters welcomes with a sense of responsibility, aware of the challenges that await us and of the constructive contribution that the CCT will be able to make to overcome the critical issues that affect hunting and wildlife management. After the conclusion of the morning's work e the various technical reports, followed by the press conference presented by Councilor Remaschi with the regional presidents of the hunting associations present at the meeting.
The voice of the Confederation of Tuscan Hunters was represented with authority by the interventions of Marco Salvadori, Regional President of Federcaccia Toscana and Francesco Rustici, Regional President of the Regional Association of Tuscan Hunters, anticipating the main contents of analysis and proposals that the CCT presented organically in the afternoon session of the works. In particular, it was emphasized that we must immediately follow up on words and move on to deeds, starting as early as next week a common work by producing specific and concrete regulatory interventions. The President of the Tuscan Federcaccia Marco Salvadori, speaking on behalf of the Confederate Associations to the CCT, addressed the main issues under discussion:
- “Above all, we hope that politics and its representatives will reacquire the centrality in the choices of government. It is their duty towards the voters and stakeholders; concertation must therefore represent the practice for the future in the respective assumption of the responsibilities that fall to us.
We made ourselves available out of a sense of responsibility and to rediscover the common spirit that has always innervated the Tuscan experience, giving life to a model of wildlife-hunting management that unfortunately seems to have been lost. Getting out of the corner becomes vital; it is necessary to reflect not only for the necessary choices that we can make now and immediately in Tuscany, but also for the ambition to make an authoritative and shared contribution to set up the necessary legislative reforms at national level and in Parliament. However, a project for Tuscany means reshape the profile of the fighter; strengthen the relationship with society, focus on science and reorganize a functional and coordinated governance between the various decision-making locations: Region, territories and ATC. Therefore, it is necessary to put the regional offices of the region in synergy, at the same time strengthening the role of the ATCs by rethinking their structure and their location on the territory. " Strong recall of Salvadori on the New Regional Hunting Wildlife Plan - "It is necessary to overcome the delays recorded up to now to immediately adopt the new criteria and univocal Plan guidelines, which must be scrupulously followed in the phase of identification, constitution and transformation of public and private wildlife institutes.
No to a series of excerpt procedures! " A new pact between hunters and farmers as an essential basis for wildlife management. The modification of the CAP opens up a new perspective, it is necessary to work on the definition of the strategies that the Region will bring into play with the new Rural Development Plan and how to envisage innovative measures for the multifunctional agricultural enterprise and ATC to generate biodiversity on the territory. Management of Ungulates - “the experience of the Objective law and the conflict between forms of hunting. The misunderstanding between hunting and control activities is definitively closed. Today new problems are proposed to be faced, strong differentiation between the various territories and the various Tuscan realities. It is necessary to move from an emergency type approach to a management differentiated by territories organized and planned by the ATCs. Finally, we believe it is essential that the Tuscany Region reconsider the need to have an authoritative scientific reference to prevent ISPRA from continuing to play, as often happened also on the hunting calendar (which today must be defended by guaranteeing legal certainty) and for ungulates, a more political than technical-scientific role.
