Bear in Trentino awaken from lethargy: where are we with the troubled “coexistence”?

Spring has arrived a little throughout Italy and wild animals are awakening from lethargy everyone with their times. The hibernation is also completed for bears and this means only one: one greater probability of future interaction between footbeds and human beings.

The eyes are particularly focused on the Trentino wild population, which continues to be at the center of heated discussions. The end of winter rest brings with it questions, doubts and challenges – no longer new – in the perspective of that cohabitation of the man’s bear that is spoken of little and we act even less According to what the main animal protection bodies denounce.

To take stock of the situation is the Lav Association, the Anti Vivisection League, which returns to contact the Autonomous Province of Trento so that the orders of catches and fells of plantigrades do not only reach the discussion tables. What you really need are concrete actions that mitigate conflicts with wildlife and guarantee the safety of the inhabitants.

To date, in fact, except for the information signs in the areas frequented by bears and anti -bear bins that will be installed by 2028, the coexistence project with the Buruno bear species does not seem to have had other developments. Indeed, for Lav the Escatti junta “refuses to create the” coexistence “based on scientific evidence” and on the reflections that emerged in the judicial room.

Let’s take the case of F36. The bear, accused of having launched a false attack in the woods of Roncone, had been sentenced to death by the Pat but killed even earlier by hunters. The story had made a sensation also because the Trento prosecutor had asked for the archiving. However, during the sentence issued by the Council of State, the need to consider the contextual variables and therefore the behaviors of the people involved in the evaluation of the degree of danger of a bear had been underlined.

On the basis of this element, also highlighted by the Council of State, the Lav turned to Ispra asking primarily a reminder so that the Pat goes well for information campaigns on correct behavior to be implemented in case of meeting with bears in nature. Educating to coexistence means working on the prevention of accidents.

Lav, in fact, recalls that the meeting with the deceased F36 in the woods of Roncone was the opposite of what should be done in the presence of a bear. Then the two hikers screamed, fled and would also launch sticks against the animal.

It being understood that it is essential to review and strengthen The management of wildlife In this splendid region, the animalists ask to judge the ethological responses of the bears and the opinions expressed first the facts and the drastic measures other victims are judged.
