" Lombardy region will experiment in some areas of the regional territory a project of containment of nutria which has already given excellent results in other realities: we will hire gods professional trappers, ie operators of specialized companies, who with a large number of cages will support the volunteers in this activity ”. He announced it Fabio Rolfi, Lombardy Regional Councilor for Agriculture, speaking this afternoon during the council commission.
"We are defining the details relating to areas of experimentation, costs and times and then, in collaboration with the bodies involved, we will start the first projects ", explained the commissioner, citing the example of Louisiana, where" this method guarantees the capture of 400 thousand specimens a year. Obviously, contrary to what the opposition wants to believe, we will make an agreement with non-American companies in our area ”.
An initiative that according to Rolfi “confirms our commitment to do everything possible for help farmers and local communities against the damage of otters also with innovative proposals and projects ". This is why “the Lombardy Region has increased resources and has foreseen an investment of 400 thousand a year for the containment and the eradication of nutria". According to Rolfi, an allocation "not sufficient", who has already addressed the government asking for the establishment of "a National Fund on this issue".
But the Lombardy Region has so much money to waste ?????
