A long-awaited agreement on the red pochard
After various sessions of the Environment Commission of the Conference of Regions, the Pochard Management Plan which will allow the Italian Regions to readmit the species to hunting, after four seasons of suspension.
One change after another
The process was rather difficult, with many penalties that were included in the draft and that were changed for the better each time. From the proposed moratorium for another three years, to seasonal limitations, and seasonal sampling, we finally came to a shared text that will allow hunting from next season.
The judgment of Federcaccia
The plan proposal approved by the Environment Commission can in fact be defined as satisfactory. While waiting to know the definitive text approved by today's Conference, Federcaccia thanks all the Regions, MASE and MASAF for the work done (Source: Italian Hunting Federation).
