This year, the new hunting season begins in a climate of great uncertainty. A group of hunters from the Reventino - Savuto area, in a note received by the editorial office, they note the following. There are many unsolved problems which, by conditioning the hunting activity, slow down the enthusiasm of the people around twenty-seven thousand followers of Sant'Uberto, residents In Calabria. Among the many failures, that of the regional wildlife plan not yet approved; the necessary changes to be made to law 9/96; dormant Territorial Hunting Areas (ATC) that do not express themselves as they should; the hunting calendar not yet formalized by regional resolution; the absolute lack of concrete signals regarding the planning of fauna and the territory.
This is the picture of a certainly not idyllic situation that problematizes the future and penalizes everything management sector of fauna and the territory, in our region. To make the situation even worse: the wild boar emergency with all its complications and criticalities. Damages in agriculture that are no longer sustainable and that bring the sector to its knees; road impacts with these ungulates that are approaching more and more, recklessly, to urban centers; real dangers of zoonosis; problems on biodiversity and so on, in an endless crescendo.
In the face of this problematic and emergency situation, lately, some hunters of the Reventino - Savuto area, dedicated to hunting wild boar in hunt, the only form that guarantees concrete results from the point of view of withdrawals, wrote to the highest institutional representatives in the region; first of all, the Councilor for Agriculture, Hunting and Fishing, Mr Gallo, to highlight this worrying situation, suggesting the modification of some points of the specification on wild boar hunting. Among the suggestions is to decrease the minimum number of components for the recognition of teams, bringing them, from the current 20 subjects, to fifteen.
Reasoned requirement that a foreseeable decrease in hunting license renewals, due to the economic crisis resulting from the covid 19 pandemic. This request would also be corroborated for guarantee greater safety during hunting trips, having the possibility, without numerical constraints, to include experienced, responsible and highly reliable people in the team. Other interesting proposals have been made, in a collaborative atmosphere, to improve a situation that is defined as an emergency. With the start of the hunting season just around the corner, there is no need to linger, everyone should be activated, interpreting their role adequately and thoroughly.
To date, there is no news on the outcome of the proposals made, despite this, even if they are aware of the minimum time remaining, with the various deadlines, we are equally confident that, very soon, all the persons in charge, realizing the problematic situation, will be able to demonstrate that sense of responsibility and industriousness that belongs to them and that would contribute to the solution of long-standing problems that are heavily penalizing for the sector in question. On their part, it would simply be a question of moving from saying to doing. The hunters are there, they are worried and eagerly awaiting the constructive proposals formulated (The reventino.it).
