Yet another proposal for re-measurement of the Sirente Velino Park. The bill, approved by the Regional Council and published in these days on the website of Abruzzo region, contemplates a new cartography with the cutting of about 8000 hectares in the territory especially in the Subequana Valley, but also on the Altopiano delle Rocche in the face of some farsighted Municipality that wanted to increase its territory in the Park. "A re-perimeter that is incredible, contrary to all logic, not only technical-scientific continuity and environmental protection, but also administrative and common sense: in fact, we could find ourselves walk along a path with one foot in the Park and the other not. - WWF and other animal welfare associations protest ».
At the basis of the new re-measurement, we read in the report accompanying the bill, there would be the need to arrive at improve conditions for farmers damaged by boar damage. "The Abruzzo Region, instead of actively and proactively managing the problem of damage and conflicts and making the Regional Park an example of innovative practices, in order to place itself on the national scenario as a model to follow and "Do school" for other realities, such as the Abruzzo's prestigious fauna, what does it do? He insists on solving the boar problem through hunters who are the ones who created the problem with the massive re-immissions of the past years and who have no interest in finding a solution.
The Region would like to eliminate the problem by reducing the Park territory, moving the problems elsewhere and declining once again to take on the responsibilities that the management of protected areas requires. From a Region like Abruzzo one would expect to work for the expansion of protected areas and certainly not for their reduction ». The environmental associations «cannot assist helpless in all this, launch an online petition asking all citizens to collaborate with their signature to avert the infamous bill that wants to reduce the perimeter of the Park. The energies of the administrators of the territory are invested to get the park out of the police station, working on concrete proposals also for economic development that are able to combine the real needs of the territory and its businesses and environmental protection "(Ecoaltomolise.net).
That the WWF does its job by putting a spanner in the works of the hunting world, it could be accepted if by the renowned animal rights association, it could give valid reasons for their proposals and not false and biased as it has always continued to do. They talk about expanding the parks, when those already present are not managed at all, but left in total decline. And they continue to blame the hunters for the supernumerary of specimens present in the area in a harmful and extremely invasive way, especially to the detriment of the ecosystem. In Sicily, the wild boars fled decades ago, from some fences in the region, managed by the Forestry and no one ever said zib…. Dear WWF, avoid us bestiality like those written in this article. And even if you do it really badly, try to inform people with the truth, rather than with fairy tales for children. Thanks
This making parks near cities is okay, but if they are not managed well the overpopulation of wild animals causes what is happening. The animals descend into the city to explore new territories and blame the hunters.
