The position of theArch Hunting on the interventions of eradication of pheasants and red partridges on 'Pianosa Island and not a little surprised Giampiero Sammuri, president of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. Sammuri recalled the long collaboration with the hunting association and the cordial relations that led to the appreciation of the interest in the wildlife management.
The latest criticisms have not been taken well, as they are based on incorrect information. As the president made clear, the speeches are part of the Life project, approved and funded by the European Union. The techniques were decided together with theISPRA, therefore it is not clear to the Park Authority with whom else he should have confronted. Most of the pheasants collected from Pianosa were captured and distributed mainly to Territorial Areas of Hunting and Sammuri said he was surprised that Arci Caccia Livorno did not know the exact specimens: the current quota is equal to 600.
The culls represent the necessary complement to complete the interventions, in parallel the catches are continuing, although less effective than in the initial phase. The president's note also highlighted the widespread media coverage of the operation and the unclear reference by Arci Caccia to paid courses for hunters. The Pianosa pheasants spoke there today Hunting Federation, recalling how it was an important and significant case in which the hunting world testified to the correct approach when it comes to biodiversity and management.
