The modification to the Calendar provincial hunting arises from the objective evaluation of the significant reduction in hare populations. This decrease, based on the monitoring carried out, would also affect the wildlife institutes for the production of fauna (the Restocking and Capture Areas), where on average the reduction in consistency is equal to about 25% of what was recorded in 2013 which has so far represented the worst year in terms of population levels since the 2000s.

From now on, those organizations that have equipped themselves with more precautionary tools for a more sustainable hunting pressure have already been awarded ”.
