A petition to save the Sardinian deer and avoid killing. It is the initiative of the ecological association Legal intervention group. This is the response to the Region to contest “the recent statements by the Councilor for the Environment Gianni Lampis to open the hunt ”also to this species. A letter-appeal was sent, as well as to Lampis himself, to the Minister of Ecological Transition and to the president of theHigher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (Ispra).
A mobilization - the environmentalists make clear - in order not to disregard what has been done in recent decades: “Alone a decisive work of protection and repopulation - explains Grig - conducted by the Sardinia Forestry Authority, the Forestry and Environmental Surveillance Corps and the WWF (with the natural oasis of Monte Arcosu) has managed to decrease the risk for the survival of the Mediterranean deer, allowing the reintroduction in various other state-owned forests and in Corsica ".
"Apart from the fact - explain the ecologists - that curiously one forgets that, in addition to the undeniable ecological value of the presence of the Sardinian deer, the species constitutes an attraction of extraordinary tourist interest for the Arburese-Guspinese area, in any case, the specimens that were deemed in excess could be captured and reintroduced, with the appropriate procedures, in naturally suitable areas and already identified by the regional planning acts: it is one of those 'ecological methods based on the opinion of the National Institute for Wildlife' that must be put in place by law before even thinking about any possible ".
The environmentalists also ask the president of Ispra "the adoption of measures to deny the proposed plans for the slaughter of the Sardinian deer under any legal form in the absence of the ecological methods provided for by law, as well as the support for the capture and transfer interventions of the verified specimens in excess in the individual areas with the reintroduction in the sites already identified by the regional planning acts "(Handle).
