La Provincial Police of Livorno and State Forestry Corps they announced that they are present in the Labronica area several examples of Hermit Ibis, whose migration is directed to Orbetello. The birds are monitored via a Gps system and are part of the project that provides for their reintroduction in Europe to counteract the risk of extinction. In September, a poacher was sentenced by the local court for the killing of two specimens, so attention must be very high.
The invitation addressed to the Livorno hunting world is precisely to hunt with the utmost caution. Police and forestry workers recalled how the Hermit Ibis are unmistakable animals, therefore we cannot give the "excuse" of similar huntable species (often the justification of Ibis confused with rooks has been heard).
In this case the sightings took place in the area of Damn and their movement will take place along the entire coast up to Piombino. A little over a week ago the provincial section of Grosseto of the Italian Federation of Hunting condemned in no uncertain terms the poacher who killed one of these animals, defined an "imbecile", once again underlining the great difference between hunters and poachers.
