The hunters of Santorso, in the province of Vicenza, they went into action these days after the request for intervention for the destruction of nests of processionaries present in this area of Veneto. In the woods and in the private areas, the shotguns and the Carabinieri act together for check roads and green areas. The enemy to be defeated is precisely the pine processionary, an insect that compromises the plants by ruining a part of the foliage and putting the life cycle at risk.
An agreement was therefore signed between the local branch of the Italian Federation of Hunting , Civil protection. For the time being, the shots of the hunters have made it possible to destroy 104 nests of lepidoptera, even if it is still a partial balance, given that the operation will last until tomorrow, Wednesday 28 February 2018. This news testifies to the importance of the hunting world for the protection and environment protection.
Among other things, the hunters are made to intervene against the processionaries always at this time of the year. Exactly twelve months ago, in fact, volunteers, hunting guards and the Provincial Police carried out a similar ballistic intervention to neutralize the dangerous nests in the province of Imperia. The final result was 5 nests eliminated.
