ABRUZZO – A discussion, the one held today in L’Aquila, desired by the Abruzzo hunting associations (Federcaccia, Libera Caccia, Enalcaccia and ANUUMigratoristi) with the President of the Abruzzo Region Marco Marsilio, and the vice President with responsibility for agriculture and hunting Emanuele Imprudente, to discuss the new Hunting Calendar 2024-2025.
The associations ask to stop the procedural process, to review the proposed restrictions and to start a constructive dialogue with all parties involved to find balanced and sustainable solutions.
«The hunting associations – commented Vice President Imprudente – have requested some changes to the document, underlining the importance of hunting also as a tool for the management and conservation of wildlife, arguing that some restrictions imposed must be modified and a process of further discussion initiated with local associations. It was a very constructive meeting. We listened to their requests to modify the proposed calendar in some points to meet the needs of the territory which are also those of the hunting associations throughout Italy. We explained that our draft calendar is currently awaiting the opinions of ISPRA and the National Hunting Faunistic Technical Committee which is newly established within the Ministry. Subsequently we will make the assessments taking into account the needs, the balance point and what the overall hunting activity of the new 2024-2025 season will have to be.”
