The Abruzzo Region continues its commitment to the hunting world with numerous initiatives that can be implemented in the immediate future.
Today April 27 will be held in Vasto at the headquarters of the Territorial Hunting Area "Vastese", the latest in a series of meetings on the new hunting management programs that the Regional Hunting Department wants to implement in the future.
The purposes of the meetings organized at the ATCs are to communicate and share with the interested Bodies the initiatives undertaken by the Regional Hunting Department regarding wildlife management interventions.
Among the various initiatives, the assignment entrusted to a company to develop a specific project, setting up a web program capable of managing any type of data at remote servers used specifically for data management and security. In addition, training and information seminars were held in the Territorial Areas of Hunting of the Abruzzo region, managed by the Biologist Franco Recchia of the Regional Office for hunting.
The meetings at the ATCs of Avezzano, L'Aquila, Sulmona and Teramo have shown how we have gone from a so to speak consumerist hunt to a sustainable hunt based on the concept of capital-interest where the hunting represents the interest and the wild released represent the capital; therefore we are not talking only about restocking but also the management of the persistent wildlife in the area.
The councilor for hunting of the Abruzzo Region, Mauro Febbo, explained “There are several initiatives undertaken by the regional management aimed at a correct technical-scientific management of hunting. These initiatives and meetings at the territorial ATCs are strategic and fundamental in light of the initiatives undertaken by the Department such as the activation of the Regional Wildlife Observatory, the drafting of the new Regional Wildlife and Hunting Plan entrusted to ISPRA and a constructive relationship with all subjects involved in wildlife management (Ministry of the Environment, ISPRA, Parks, Provinces, ATC, hunting, fishing and environmentalist associations, etc.) ".
In conclusion, Febbo affirmed, "A correct management of the fauna never carried out up to now outside the protected areas will allow, among other things, a considerable saving of expenses by the Authority, as in the Abruzzo Region, an expenditure of about three millions of euros per year for reimbursement of damage to agricultural crops and domestic animals by wildlife ".
