ENPA (National Animal Protection Authority), LAC (League for the Abolition of Hunting), LAV (Anti-Vivisection League), Legambiente, BirdLife Italia and WWF have disseminated a statement that has to do with the age-old question of the Key concepts. The charges against the hunters are accurate. Here is what can be read in the note: “An attack against Ispra, the national scientific authority for the environment, and the Ministry of the Environment, with the sole purpose of limiting the safeguards for migratory birds, already subjected to strong hunting pressure.
The pressures of the hunters have exceeded all limits, representing an unprecedented field invasion, in a matter of clear and complete competence of the Ministry of the Environment, on which the Ministry of the Environment and Ispra have always operated correctly. It is about a matter of great importance in terms of biodiversity conservation because it is aimed at protecting the most delicate biological periods for wild birds such as those of reproduction and migration.
A subject on which, moreover, Italy is currently under investigation by the European Union, with a specific Eu-Pilot procedure. Hence our appeal to Minister Costa, so that he does not allow himself to be intimidated and to move forward on the correct path, and to the President of the Council of Ministers Giuseppe Conte: reject any pressure and put an end to this rough situation, which risks hurting the Italian nature and exposing Italy to a very bad international figure ”.
