An effective collaboration
For the fourth consecutive year the provincial section Federcaccia of Macerata and the Acma (Aquatic Migratory Hunters Association), the sector which is specifically interested in research, monitoring and management of aquatic fauna, in collaboration with the Macerata 2 Territorial Area of Hunting, have restarted the project for the preparation of artificial nests for the nesting of mallard ducks.
Suitable artificial lakes
Thanks to the active collaboration of some members, some artificial nests have been placed on artificial lakes suitable for the species in the municipalities of Potenza Picena, Montelupone, Morrovalle, Tolentino. These nests allow this duck to nest peacefully, avoiding the real risk of predation by opportunistic species such as hooded crows, magpies and coups.
Hunting guards
The nests will be monitored periodically by the volunteer hunting guards of the Federcaccia, in order to verify the consistency of the nesting which in past years has always been positive.
