The associations in the streets, stop the proposal on hunting

The main environmental, animal rights and nature protection associations will take to the streets on November 26th in Rome, starting from 9.30 am in Piazza Capranica, to ask Parliament to stop the infamous "Shooter" hunting plan, a reckless measure that aims to dismantle the protection of Italian wildlife and ecosystems.

The mobilization, entitled "Italy repudiates PDL hunting", was born from the profound alarm generated by a proposal which, if approved, would represent an unprecedented leap backwards in the conservation of biodiversity and the defense of our natural heritage.

While Europe asks member states to strengthen nature protection measures to combat the loss of biodiversity, - explain the associations - Italy chooses the opposite direction, opening the doors to hunting interests, multiplying the pressure on fauna and sacrificing a common good that belongs to all citizens.

The associations strongly denounce the serious dangers to public safety and the unacceptable limits on the collective right to live in the territory. In a country where millions of people choose to frequent woods, mountains, countryside and protected areas for sport, leisure or simple love for the environment, this pdl transforms natural places into free zones for doubles.

The garrison will give voice to associations and citizens who ask for policies based on science, on the protection of ecosystems and on respect for life, and will represent a moment of mobilization open to all people who believe biodiversity is a heritage to be defended and not a resource to be plundered.

For this reason, the associations Enpa, Lac, Lav, Legambiente, Lipu and WWF Italia invite associations, citizens, volunteers, students, hikers, entrepreneurs, nature photographers and all those who care about the future of Italian nature to participate in the presidium.

Hands off nature. "We defend wild animals, ecosystems and the freedom to experience nature safely: on November 26th nature needs you."
