It was signed yesterday morning in Prefecture of Pistoia il Memorandum of Understanding for the management of ungulates in the provincial territory. The document was signed by the Prefect Gerlando Iorio, the representatives of the The Tuscan Regional Authority, of the Province and Municipality of Pistoia, of the trade associations (Confagricoltura, CIA, Coldiretti) and the Territorial Hunting Area.
The Protocol arises from the need to adopt a joint action strategy to contain the spread of ungulates in urban and peri-urban territories of the province, so as to prevent damage to crops and also avoid dangers for road traffic. The document is also of particular importance in the context of the fight against propagation of African swine fever throughout the national territory.
