REGION - "Well the hunting pre-opening arranged by presidential decree and the green light of the junta to the selective control plan of wild boars". This was stated by the Pd regional councilor Enrico Panunzi. The pre-opening decree provides for hunting on 1 and 2 September for hooded crow, magpie, jay, blackbird and turtle dove. The selective control plan for wild boars is part of the resolution that contains the approval of the documents "discipline for wildlife management and selection hunting for ungulates: cervids and bovids", "rules for wildlife management and for selection hunting for ungulates: wild boar ”and“ discipline for the recovery of injured ungulates ”.
«They are two important measures. For wild boars, the situation has become unsustainable throughout the region and especially in the province of Viterbo. - Panunzi underlines - Their number has grown exponentially. The economic damage to agriculture is huge, with a steady increase in claims for compensation. From various quarters, from sector associations and hunters to institutions, prevention policies were requested. The plan goes in this direction ». The resolution provides for the technical and operational methods of selection hunting for roe deer, red deer, fallow deer and mouflon species.In particular, the aim is to regulate the participation of hunters in the selection hunting of ungulates so that through the monitoring of their populations and any problems they may have sustained, it is possible to guarantee their sustainable exploitation also with a view to recomposing any faunal imbalances and preventing impacts on agricultural crops. To achieve this goal, the collaboration of the selection hunters is necessary who, through a capillary organization on the territory coordinated by the group leaders and the district heads, carry out, under the direction of the ATC, the censuses, the monitoring, the prevention activities. , and carry out the withdrawals according to what is established in the withdrawal / management plans.
«We want to overcome the emergency. - concludes the regional councilor - The resolution puts in place the legislative actions necessary to resolve the criticality or, at least, to bring the wild boar population back to sustainable levels for our territory ».
