La Province of Sondrio just approved the multiannual wild boar control plan which will remain in force until 2023. The contents are identical to those of the previous provision and theISPRA (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research) has already given his positive opinion. The same body appreciated the clarity of the report, a detail that should make animal rights and environmentalists think before challenging the taking of ungulates.
As explained by Elilo Moretti, president of the Lombardy province: "To make the action to combat wild boars even more effective, also in line with the regional objective ofelimination of the risk of impacts (the entire provincial territory is recognized as an "unsuitable" area, or in which the presence of the species is not allowed) the new "Operational provisions for the control of wildlife and wild animals, of the domestic forms of wild species and of the wild forms of domestic species "to which all the subjects involved in the control must comply".
The operators authorized to intervene must increase at all costs and therefore the local authority is preparing a training course to follow the lessons to future qualified figures. The course in question, however, does not represent a qualification for wild boar hunting: it will take place next May.
