TRENTO. He stopped again at Let’s see the round of consultations promoted by the Trentino provincial councilor for crafts, trade, tourism, forests, hunting and fishing with delegation to large carnivores, Roberto Failoni to deepen the discussion with local administrators on the topic of the presence of the bear in Trentino. A useful meeting to provide correct information on the most debated issues, starting from the estimated number of specimens to the use of protection tools, such as anti-bear spray, or knowledge and information, such as the new signage wanted by the Province to warn the population and tourists of the risks and at the same time promote knowledge of the practices to be adopted to contain them.
The delicacy of the situation was also underlined by the interventions of mayors and councilors: the large number of specimens present, the continuous sightings and predations are a source of concern which often turns into fear of frequenting woods and hills.
The councilor and the technicians present took stock of the situation, from requests to the government to be able to extend the use of the spray to other categories as well (today it is reserved only for foresters because it is considered a weapon), to the plan to replace waste bins with special bear-proof containers, up to the implementation of communication activities intended for both residents and tourists.
Actions – the councilor recalled – which however require a collective assumption of responsibility, reiterating trust in the professionalism of foresters with the invitation to everyone to collaborate as much as possible, for example using 112 for emergency calls.
