THECampania Game Producers Authority have written to the Region to ask for a copy of the hunting calendar relating to the 2018-2019 season. The reason has been known for some time, in the text there is no reference to pochard, eliminated from huntable species. The blocking of this sampling has therefore irritated the hunting world of Campania not a little. EPS reminded the local authority how after the meeting of the Regional Wildlife Hunting Technical Committee on 19 April the species was included in the list, while the exclusion was limited to Natura 2000 areas only.
This is why viewing the calendar has become necessary: we are talking about the copy sent to theHigher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA). Immediately after the reading there will be the definitive considerations by the association. Game Farmers are convinced that the proclamations and announcements read so far through Press releases have no basis.
Otherwise, however, the institution will be forced to address the issue that has been debated, in order to include what was chosen in the Fauna Committee a month ago in the Campanian calendar 2018-2019. The stop to the pochard hunt was announced by the Association for Ornithological Studies of Southern Italy which in February had sent a technical-scientific document to assert its reasons.
