THEhunting office of the Lombardy Region sent an urgent request to the Alpine Districts, giving them the opportunity to redo i partridge management districts, essential to be able to comply with the national plan on this type of hunting and allow the authorization to open it. A big mess a month after opening a this type of hunting. If the rock partridge hunting season is at risk, there are great responsibilities of the Region. And the request to redesign the districts to the CACs in 5 days is science fiction. But paradoxical then that from the opinion of ISPRA (not provided for by law) it emerges that even before the opinion itself ISPRA had communicated orally to the officials that the districts were not doing well.
And all the more reason to ask why a was asked ISPRA an unexpected opinion. Perhaps it was appropriate to postpone the approval and adoption of the guidelines, which needed to be, for a year more insights, as already reported by Federcaccia in December 2020. After all, the CAC Lombardi have proven over the years to manage the removal of the rock partridge in an absolutely prudential and conservation, and above all to know how to do it concretely. Surely better than those who manage only on paper and from inside an office, without ever taking part in the censuses and without ever touching the management of this wild game.
What is certain is that the perception that hunters have (but also the management committees of the alpine districts) it is almost as if the Region wanted to hinder the hunting management of the rock partridge: the request to ISPRA for an unnecessary opinion, but at this point with a foregone conclusion, close to the summer censuses and in the imminence of the preparation of sampling plans for the 2021 / 2022 season sounds really bad. Without forgetting the obstacles introduced with the guidelines, even if only with reference to the qualification of dogs that can be used for censuses: a rule that when fully implemented will make it much more difficult to have the correct and exhaustive perception of the consistency of rock partridge in the Lombard Alps. As if there was an interest in preventing the presence of wild animals from being verified, thus preventing their hunting (The President of Federcaccia Lombardia - Avv. Lorenzo Bertacchi).
