The Tuscia Sud Association replies on the diatribes regarding the Vt2 Hunting Territorial Area and the possible identification of new protection institutes in the territory of the province of Viterbo already foreseen by the provincial administration.
In its own press release, the Tuscia Sud Association speaks of a meeting, the news of which was released by the press, that the hunting associations of Tarquinia would have called to protest against the Atc Vt2 and the provincial administration regarding hypothetical new protection institutes that should be built in the Tarquinia area.
With bitterness I note that people with general interests and members of the Atc Vt2 board themselves lose their serenity of judgment and analytical skills when they are discussed, they do not impose acts relating to their "garden".
Specifically, it all started when the provincial administration accelerates, an objective shared and requested by the whole provincial hunting world, in the drafting of the new provincial hunting wildlife plan to program the hunting wildlife management on a territory that is profoundly different from 15 years ago.
In May 2011, the administration communicated to the Atc that it was necessary to identify new protection institutes in the provincial territory to reach the minimum surface required by the reference legislation, (an operation shared by the environmentalist world) and asked to identify new repopulation and capture areas, an institution that it allows wildlife management with environmental improvement interventions and controls on opportunistic species, a hypothesis shared by the hunting world and by farmers' associations.
The ATC then unanimously appreciated the availability of the provincial administration which, instead of proceeding autonomously, as required by law, chose the path of dialogue, participation and sharing, involving us in the choices.
We have unanimously appointed a technician who, on the basis of shared criteria and territorial characteristics, has identified some areas that meet the required requirements and which almost necessarily, given the presence of private institutions, specialized crops and forests in the ATC, fall in part in the Municipality of Tarquinia, but also in other municipalities.
These are the first hypotheses of perimeter, approved by all the councilors of the ATC with the exception of those originally from Tarquinia, in evident conflict between the registered residence and being bearers of interests like those of the agricultural world who see in these institutions that a small opportunity to support the income of businesses.
Such hypotheses of perimeter will be submitted to the provincial administration which will define a draft plan and will begin a process of discussion and consultation with all the interested parties that could lead to changes, displacements or new areas identified; criticizing and taking responsibility at this stage therefore seems premature and ungenerous, especially when the refusal derives not from technical environmental issues but from a sort of blackmail related to the required establishment of a wildlife hunting company in the Tarquinia area. In this case, isn't territory taken away from hunters who will not be able to pay the expensive entrance fees to this institute?
Let us therefore forget the demagogy and if we put ourselves in front of a table to solve any problems, a willingness that we have always shown beyond these rash and careless positions.
There remains the regret for the "slips" that are made towards a provincial administration and a councilor for Agriculture, Hunting and Fishing who, unlike in the past, performs qualifying and necessary acts, gives us confidence by attributing roles and competences to us (see Boar regulation) demonstrates in practice, also by allocating new resources (no later than yesterday and despite the period of crisis in public finances) to allow us to carry out our tasks and our activities.
It is up to us to demonstrate that we do not think only in the interest of our "garden" and the ATC Vt2 is doing it.
