"From a seeming breeze of critical skepticism towards the action of the new committee", President Aceto pointed out, "a suspicious criticism perhaps dictated by misunderstandings and misinformation", Aceto remarked, "brilliant elements and comfortable results emerge in a very short time, especially evident from the emphasis brought by the hunters in all the encounters held up to now ”.
“The hunting world is a resource and must be considered as such”, underlined the President Aceto. "In fact, it is enough to analyze the first results obtained with the new management through only effective communication: by now all the Samnite hunters know that compared to the past years the cost for the purchase of a hare has halved by fifty percent" highlighted Aceto .
The conference then entered the strictly more participatory phase, that of the main actors of the hunting stage, not only hunters, but also farmers. Particular attention was in fact highlighted by some farmers in relation to the damage caused to agricultural crops by wild boars, especially in the areas adjacent to the Oasis of Campolattaro. In this regard, the need for effective collaboration between the Mayors and the bodies in charge was accentuated, in synergy also with the Territorial Hunting Area which in fact is only delegated to the management of the hunting territory but certainly participates in the protection of the territory and of the agricultural heritage. The Mayors present in fact all agreed to undertake an action in synergy with the Province and in sharing with the ATC in order to protect all the agricultural world.

As for predators, once the census has already been scheduled, it will be possible to draw up a feasible downsizing plan.
The issue of disposable crops was also addressed, useful for game and sedentary fauna to return to their native presence. In this regard, in fact, the need for the establishment of several repopulation and capture areas, essential reservoirs aimed at the natural repopulation of the territory of the fauna in an indigenous form, was highlighted and shared by all.
The audience also urged the need for the establishment of dog areas, which are indispensable not only for the training and training of all the auxiliary dog breeds of hunters and main players in the showcase of hunting events, but useful because additional reservoirs to protect the fauna, as hunting is prohibited in them. Finally, President Aceto highlighted the importance of drafting the Provincial Wildlife Plan, an objective to be achieved by the end of the year, as well as the comparison action that the ATC of Benevento will carry out with the other ATCs of the Campania Region.
