Federcaccia Foligno organizes the national conference on migration “Knowing to manage”, on 12 October 2012.
The world of science at the service of hunting for the management of wild species. This will be the central theme of the conference entitled "Knowing to manage", organized by the Federcaccia di Foligno and dedicated mainly - but not only - to the studies carried out on some migratory birds by the Migratory Birdlife office of the Italian Hunting Federation, in particular on the woodcock.
The event, scheduled for Friday 12 October at 16 pm in Palazzo Trinci di Foligno, will see the participation of representatives from the world of science and institutions, starting with the national leaders of the main Italian hunting association.
After the greetings of the mayor of Foligno Nando Mismetti, the regional councilor Fernanda Cecchini and the president of Federcaccia Umbra Franco Di Marco, the program includes the interventions of Umberto Sergiacomi - head of the regional wildlife Observatory - and Luca Convito, of the Wildlife management and environmental protection of the Umbria Region. It will then be the turn of the national vice-president of Federcaccia Lorenzo Carnacina, head of the Fidc migratory birds office, who will speak on the topic “The acquisition of data in favor of the future of hunting”.
Afterwards, the president of the "Amici di scolopax" Association and head of the Scolopax Overland project, Alessandro Tedeschi, will talk about satellite radio telemetry at the service of the study of migration, before giving the floor to the former president of the INFS, today Ispra, Mario Spagnesi, who will describe the skills and responsibilities of scientific research. In closing, the national vice-president Federcaccia Massimo Buconi will speak on the future of hunting and the Fidc. The “Sentieri di Caccia” journalist Vladimiro Palmieri has the task of coordinating the interventions, which will be followed by the debate.
“Finally, after so many questions, discussions, crowded assemblies, applause, whistles and demagogy, we can go back to talking about important hunting issues and noble game to manage and study”, says Franco Di Marco, president of Federcaccia Umbra. "Nowadays hunting cannot be separated from a serious union with science and data collection: in this respect Federcaccia has been working for years, through the offices of migratory birds and permanent fauna, to offer institutions all the information necessary for drafting of balanced hunting calendars, which are the result - concludes the president - of scientific weighting and never of emotionality or pre-election promises ”.
