Wildlife reproduction
"The protection of biodiversity animal takes on a decisive importance in the reproduction phase of wild fauna that in fact begins in spring, from March, with the courtship phase and ends in the period June/July with the protection of the newborns. As Ispra has often indicated, even in official opinions, any action that disturbs the fauna should be avoided". Thus the Pd group leader in the Agriculture Commission and secretary of the Presidency of the Chamber, Stefano Vaccari.
Agro-forestry-pastoral territory
Vaccari added: “From the calendar of activities of the Enci, the national body of Italian dog breeding, which on behalf of the State is responsible for maintaining the genealogical books of dog breeds, it is clear, on the other hand, that working trials on natural game and trials for tracking dogs take place in various regions, often in protected territories such as repopulation and capture zones, involving thousands of hectares of agricultural, forestry and pastoral territory”.
Demonstrations to be banned
The note ends in this way: "And yet national laws and EU directives establish explicit prohibitions in this regard. For this reason, together with my colleague Marco Simiani, PD group leader in the Environment Commission and my PD colleagues in the Agriculture Commission Forattini, Marino, Romeo and Rossi, a question was presented to ministers Lollobrigida and Pichetto Fratin, who by competence supervise the Enci and have delegations to protect biodiversity, whether, faced with a clear violation of the rules, they intend to intervene promptly with initiatives aimed at prohibiting the events scheduled by the Enci during the period of courtship and reproduction of wild fauna and whether, faced with this serious violation, they do not intend to proceed quickly to the nomination of a commissioner ad acta to guarantee the correct functioning of the Enci".
