La Objective Law on ungulates of Tuscany remains a current and widely debated topic, as confirmed by theinterlocutory meeting which took place today, Friday 18 March 2016, in the Region and of which the Confederation of Tuscan Hunters, ArciCaccia and AnuuMigratoristi they provided a detailed account. The meeting involved Marco Remaschi, Councilor for Agriculture and Hunting, and various representatives of the local hunting world. The agenda was precisely this important and recent legislative text and how its application is progressing to contain ungulates. As specified by the official note, no maps or documents were made available, however the CCT explained its positions clearly and precisely, underlining the criteria for achieving the objectives of the law.
First of all, it was asked to take into due consideration the observations and the contribution offered by the experience of the hunting world and of Territorial Areas of Hunting as regards the subsequent steps of the regulatory application. So far, in fact, there have been several misunderstandings and achieving goals can be seriously jeopardized. The CCT also recalled how it is necessary to enhance the role of wild boar hunting teams: this is a strategic and fundamental detail to better manage the species, with ATCs who should have effective skills to choose ad hoc methods and tools.
No less interesting were the references to the definition of the areas and plans, given that they are still being defined. In particular, the increase in non-suitable areas and the decrease in the number of items to be contained in numerical terms do not go hand in hand and automatically. At the same time the correct actions based on full and responsible involvement of the teams have led to gods more than positive results, therefore it can only be the right path to take.
The association also highlighted the need to assign skills to the Hunting Areas that facilitate the direct involvement of the teams, but always with the ultimate goal of safeguarding agricultural crops. No tool has been excluded to be used in this case, especially the hunted. The commissioner Cremaschi said he was ready for a confrontation with the sector associations and the interested categories, and he also expressed greatness appreciation for the role and effectiveness of the intervention of the aforementioned teams. Now it will be necessary to verify the progress of the phases following the current one, the initial one of application of the Objective Law, so as to understand the real scope of the assurances and promises.
