Il experimental project for the reintroduction and stabilization of the Italian hare in the Tuscan territory it started officially. In particular, we proceeded with the delivery of 100 of the 500 specimens destined for the province of Lucca, a very promising debut. The initiative is shared by the Territorial Areas of Hunting in Tuscany and the adhesion and collaboration were total to guarantee the recovery of the territories by the species.
The Region and the Regional Agriculture Department strongly wanted the project, as testified by funding granted. On 1 June the hares just caught in the production center of Civitella Paganico, in the province of Grosseto, arrived at Castelnuovo Garfagnana, precisely in the Lucca area. Each animal was handed over to the hunting associations present in the area. The distribution was decided on the basis of choices of the ATC of Lucca and the Tuscany Region, but what will happen in the next few days?
Repopulation will continue with the release of the hares in the countryside: the certainty that the animals in question will be able to find the ideal and welcoming environment is almost total, also because the area is rich in botanical varieties and we must not forget the water that allows a better use of the territory. With these premises we can well hope for the future.
