The president of the Community of the Park, mayor of Carpino Rocco Di Brina, in agreement with the president of Gargano National Park, Pasquale Pazienza, and on behalf of the colleagues who make up the advisory and proposing body, officially formulated the request for an urgent political-technical table "In which the Puglia Region, the Gargano National Park and the other competent institutions can confront each other in order to hire fast and specific commitments in stopping the uncontrolled presence of wild boars on the Gargano ".
The letter left today at the address of the President of the Puglia Region, Michele Emiliano, and the Regional Councilor for Agriculture Donato Pentassuglia, also sent for information to the prefect of Foggia, Carmine Esposito.

“The pervasive and indiscriminate presence of wild boars in the Gargano area must now be considered real emergency - the letter reads - There are dozens, every month, the reports that reach us and our councilors from farmers and entrepreneurs exhausted and discouraged byabsence of measures that contain the spread of this 'plague', which is added to the prejudice of public safety and road safety ".
