The results of this research have already been used by the Calabria Region for the preparation of hunting calendars and for maintain the closure of the hunt for the species on January 31st. On this topic, the Calabria Region, with Federcaccia Calabria present ad opposendum, won two appeals to the TAR, which considered the reasons present in the calendar resolution valid, in deviation from the ISPRA opinion which proposed the closure of the hunt for the species on 10 January the first time and on the 20th the second.
One more demonstration that the scientific approach and research promoted by FIdC have a direct impact on the expectations of hunters and that the path traced is the right one. The discussion on Key Concepts is underway these days and this work is also part of the evidence brought by FIdC to the Ministry of the Environment. The study and publication are dedicated to the memory of Gennaro Giuffrè, the late regional president of FIdC Calabria, who strongly wanted the carrying out the research.
