The Regional Council of Veneto officially approved the project for the management of the wolf, a plan proposed by the councilor for hunting, Joseph Pan. It is a series of interventions in derogation from the protection regime that is imposed by the so-called Habitat Directive: the goal is to reduce social conflict in the regional territory, acting in the areas with the greatest livestock and tourist vocation.
The ordinary measures will be implemented by also exploiting the resources of the WolfAlps Project. It will not miss an extraordinary operation for reduce the number of wolves. In fact, in the last year the specimens have grown in a worrying way, with a number of "stable" wolves that is between 14 and 16. The derogation refers to the two stable packs, that is to say that of Lessinia and that of Asiago: the plan provides for the capture, enclosure and sterilization of specimens, but after capture there may also be a transfer to another suitable site.
Pan pointed out how it is economic effort it will not be indifferent: it is the response of the Veneto Region to the questions of breeders, who have long been asking for a concrete intervention and the use of the limits granted by Community legislation.
