The article reports that the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA) has rejected a proposed law (Bill 2984) aimed at modifying the 1992 Hunting Law. The rejection highlights significant technical, scientific, and legal flaws in the bill, including potential violations of European directives, risks to wildlife conservation, and institutional inefficiencies. Over 60 environmental and animal protection organizations, led by the 'Lega Abolizione Caccia' group, have formally appealed to Environment Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin and members of the Chamber of Deputies' Agriculture Committee, urging them to reject the legislation. They argue that the law threatens Italy’s compliance with EU regulations and undermines the state’s responsibility to protect wildlife.
