Our countryside, our waterways, our territory... every day they are put at risk by an increasingly invasive presence: the otter. These rodents, introduced by man and now out of control, are devastating banks, threatening crops and compromising the hydrogeological security of our territory.
We can't stand by and watch anymore. It's time to act!
The Lombardy Region has given a new impetus to the fight against this emergency, and the Province of Mantua has approved a Three-Year Eradication Plan to which the Municipality of Curtatone has also joined with the creation of a municipal contingent dedicated to the capture and culling of nutrias. A necessary action to protect our environment, agriculture and public safety.
What changes?
- Greater flexibility: operators will be able to intervene 24 hours a day
- More effective tools: the possibility of shooting with a high-impact carbine has been introduced
- Targeted training: specific courses to enable new operators to capture and manage emergencies
The nutria is not a protected species, but a serious problem that must be addressed with determination and method. Its proliferation is causing increasingly serious damage: eroded embankments, roads at risk of collapse, compromised canals, destroyed crops. Their presence cannot be ignored.
Let's defend our land! Only a structured and coordinated intervention can reduce the number of nutrients and restore balance to our ecosystem. With everyone's contribution, we can preserve the beauty and security of our territory.
Let's team up for a safer and more secure environment!
