Citizen science projects involve the population in scientific research and in the collection of attendance data different species on a territory. It is with this goal that the Park of the Lanza launches the data collection project on the presence of wild boar on its territory. The aim is to better orient future management and containment interventions, in collaboration with the relevant authorities.
At the hunting level, the territory of Plis Valle del Lanza is very particular: in fact it falls within the Territorial Areas of Hunting (ATC) of the provinces of Como and Varese: in particular the ATC1 Prealpino-District No. 5 of the Varese province and theATC Olgiatese on the Como portion. While hunting for selection on wild boar is active on the Varese side, in the Como ATC it is not yet foreseen, even though it is being evaluated by the authorities in charge, and the selection is in the field of the Provincial Police. "For a correct and effective management of the problem - we read on the site - it is however essential to know the consistency of the wild boar populations on the territory, and this new project of the Parco del Lanza is the first step in this direction "(Varese News).
