TRENTO. Starting next week in Val di Sole, in Trentino, a petition – a thousand as necessary – to start a popular consultation on the presence of the bear.
The initiative is from Committee “Together for Andrea Papi”the young man attacked and killed by the bear in April 2023 in the woods of Caldes, in Val di Sole, and comes two days after the last attack by a bear in Trentino, which occurred in Dro where a French tourist was attacked.
The Chairman of the Committee, Pierantonio Cristoforetti, after having submitted a specific request, received from the Val di Sole Community the documentation to start the popular consultation with the following question: “Do you believe that the presence of large carnivores, such as bears and wolves, in densely populated areas such as the Valli di Sole, Pejo and Rabbi, is a serious danger to public safety and a damage to the economy and the protection of local uses, customs and traditions?”.
The collection phase of a thousand signatures in support of the request for popular consultationand – we read in a note – the procedure can be activated by which all the inhabitants of each municipality of Val di Sole who have turned 16 years old can freely declare what they think of the current situation of the presence of bears reintroduced with the progetto “Life Ursus” in Val di Sole and more generally in Trentino. “It is therefore recommended that the population wish to collaborate in this important moment of democratic expression through which, for the first time, the opinion of the people who live in the mountains is asked on the project of reintroduction of bears”, writes Cristoforetti in a note.
