Fallow deer and wild boar are certainly fascinating and when visitors come across them in the Oglio North Park, the photo takes immediately. Unfortunately, however, they also cause many problems for motorists and farmers. The situation is now getting out of hand and it is for this reason that the institution of wildlife protection in accordance with the three provinces of Cremona, Brescia and Bergamo: "We have already had a first summit on video call, a second one will follow in mid-March - announces the president of the reserve Louis Ferrari —.
My proposal, which was shared, is to intervene first of all with a census of the two species. When we have precise numbers in hand, it will be easier study the containment of species". On the one hand the fallow deer, beautiful and harmless creatures but with the "vice" of reckless crossing on the former Soncinese state road and already with many accidents, as reported by the mayor of Genivolta Roberto Lazzari. On the other, the wild boars that reproduce at great speed and devastate the crops.
In short, the park has uncomfortable guests and with the number of specimens growing day by day. The leaders of the Oglio reserve - as mentioned - have already activated: Ferrari, however, wants to start from the figures before evaluating catches or killing (the latter excluded a priori for deer). To do this he needs the help of the three provinces on which the green lung extends and the supra-municipal bodies said they were well disposed.
«The first meeting, held electronically for reasons of time and security, went well and we discussed the critical issues related to the presence of these animals - reveals Ferrari -: in the next table we will think about the timing and methods of the census, which can no longer be postponed. Knowing the number of specimens in detail is essential to share a coordinated intervention strategy ". Meanwhile, the mayor of Genivolta Lazzari, after a long series of high-risk episodes, asked Cremona to install signs to indicate "the crossing of fallow deer" in his country and on the border with Villacampagna, to protect the same animals and motorists (The Province of Cremona).
