It was learned that the Directorate General for the Environment of the Region interrupted and closed the Impact Assessment procedure on the proposal for Regional Wildlife Plan. From the wording of the Decree it is clear that this decision was taken because the Agriculture DG and the Territory DG, in examining the observations received from the stakeholders, decided to signal the need, in acceptance of some of them, to calculate the percentages of Agro Silvo Pastorale Territory (TASP), a time when it is not possible to plan the hunting activity seriously and correctly without knowing which territory is useful for the fauna.
Not only Federcaccia had reported this lack, but also other hunting associations, and even environmental associations of primary importance and national level. According to Federcaccia, as well explained in our observations (which we publish for those who have the desire and the patience to read them), the calculation of the TASP is necessary to correctly evaluate the impact of the hunting activity on the hunting sites. Natura 2000 network and throughout the territory, to the point that a new impact study can only be drawn up.
And the validity of this observation emerges from the fact that it actually seems to be received in these terms: the calculation of the TASP can only lead to a new Incidence Study. We hope that a serious re-edition of the Incidence Study, which in fact is now non-existent because it is unsuitable for evaluating the incidence of hunting, can be done with a more objective and less ideological eye in this regard. our observations on saturnism, but not only) and for this we can only show some satisfaction.
What is certain is that we cannot rejoice at the lengthening of the times: the Lombardy Region needs a wildlife plan, even if only to lighten the work that is necessary every year, in its absence, for the approval of the calendars. But we are sure it will be worth it and that it will be possible to work with a view to objective and technical planning, not imbued with anti-hunt ideology and without for this reason being considered the result of some kind of lobby, neither one way nor the other. For this reason we can only express sincere appreciation for the attention paid to the observations of the stakeholders by Councilor Rolfi, President Fontana and their group leader in the Council Rings, who wanted to understand firsthand the observations we presented, thus appreciating their constructive spirit and soundness.
