From information collected by the Vice President of the Tuscan Regional Council Stephanie Saccardi, we learned the news that yesterday, the Agricultural Policy Commission of the State Regions Conference, addressed issues relating to sustainable agriculture and the relationship with wildlife. The meeting in which the Vice President Saccardi took part, saw the participation of the undersecretary al MITE (Ministry for Ecological Transition) Vannia Gava. The discussion focused on some critical issues also linked to the damage caused by the lack of wildlife management in some territories.
The regions intend not only to address these important aspects but above all to give urgent solutions and concrete answers to a sector, agriculture and livestock, today even more affected by the "expensive energy" and the lack of some raw materials due to the international situation. The Vice President Saccardi together with other representatives present at the meeting, provided an analysis contribution for the preparation of a series of programmatic points to be presented to the Government.
In particular, the Regions have expressed a common line on the need for immediate and urgent measures which include, among other things, control plans to be activated with the hunted technique, the extension of hunting times for ungulates and interventions aimed at exercising control plans even within protected areas. In addition, the regions are also asking for urgent decisions on the payment of wildlife damage to farmers, drawing on the resources from government concessions for hunting and a reform of the ISPRA on a regional basis.
On this last aspect, debate has also been going on for some time in Toscana following the difficulties encountered on issues related to wildlife management but also with respect to those that are the repercussions on calendars, times and huntable species. The fact that today, in an authoritative forum, these and other problems have been addressed, gives hope in the possibility of reaching a political solution in due time that re-establishes a balanced centrality of the Regions on the wildlife management (Source: Hunting Federation).
