Subsequently, the environmental characteristics necessary for the reintroduction of the species were identified through a mapping of the territorial ecosystems, at the end of which it was possible to ascertain how these environmental and climatic factors are present in the part of the territory falling within the Municipality of Spigno Saturnia, in particular in the area flat area of the Ausente, where in fact, after an intervention for the introduction of game, an area of 64 hectares exclusively dedicated to this will be established, within which it will not be possible to exercise the hunting activity for a period of time of at least three years, during which a careful monitoring activity will be carried out by the bodies involved in collaboration with the hunters.

In fact, through an economic investment, ATC LT 2 will support the “crops to be lost” for the next three years, with the aim of feeding partridges and relaunching the production cycle of the land in Spigno. This area, in fact, called 'Ausente', has represented a driving force of the local agricultural economy, and thanks to the collaboration between ATC, Hunting Associations and the Municipal Administration, the territory will once again be the protagonist, also from the point of view of environmental protection ".
