Rim/Ferara – Predsjednik Hrvatskog lovačkog saveza mr. sc. Ivica Budor, dopredsjednik Graciano Prekalj te tajnik Hrvoje Kukas boravili su u radnom posjetu talijanskom lovačkom savezu (Federazione Italiana della Caccia). U središtu najvećeg lovačkog saveza u Italiji s oko 400 000 članova, kako je navedeno u službenim statistikama, goste iz Hrvatske dočekao je predsjednik Massimo Buconi sa svojim suradnicima. Sastanku je nazočio i bivši predsjednik talijanskog saveza i aktualni dopredsjednik FACE-a Gian Luca Dall’Olio.
The Federazione Italiana della Caccia and the Croatian Hunting Federation entered into a cooperative agreement signed by the former presidents of the Italian Federation, Giacomo Rosini, and the Croatian Hunting Federation, Đuro Dečak, in 1999 in Umag. This year commemorates the 25th anniversary of the agreement's signing, signifying an opportunity to reinforce collaboration across various domains. The discussion encompassed topics involving the organization and administration of hunting grounds and wildlife. The interaction also revealed numerous prospects for enhanced cooperation, achieved through the exploration of joint initiatives, the resolution of field-related challenges, and the commitment to elevate standards across all operational facets.
The discussion on the Life Perdix project, which receives support from the Italian hunting association, was particularly engaging. This initiative successfully reintroduced the indigenous Perdix perdix Italica species through genetic analysis of samples dating back to 1900. Daniel Tramontana, the project lead, and colleague Davide Senserini hosted a delegation from the Croatian Hunting Association, headed by president Ivica Budor, at the operational base of the European project near Ferrara. The project, which restored the genetic lineage of the original species, facilitated the release of approximately 15,000 individuals into their natural habitat. The Italian team presented an extensive multi-year project overview detailing the methodologies, challenges encountered, and remarkable outcomes. Subsequently, the Croatian delegation was given a tour of the 18 wildlife sanctuaries, each spanning around 1 hectare and covering a collective area of nearly 18,000 hectares. Both associations expressed willingness to collaborate, signalling the potential for further joint initiatives to restore the Indigenous species within their hunting grounds.
