BUFO AND THE 'stove, or the impact of roads on
spring migration of amphibians and actions
Protection: This is the title of the interesting
meeting and debate, organized by friends of toads
Polcenigo in collaboration with the 'Association
Cordenonese Nature, WWF Chamber of Pordenone and the Friuli
Section LAC (League' s
abolition of the Hunt) on Saturday afternoon and held in Pordenone
room Meeting of 'ex Convento di San Francesco,
very crowded for the occasion. The conference, which took
actors as speakers Dr. Nicola Bressi
conservation biologist and zoologist,
Conservative Management of the Museum of Natural History
of Trieste, Prof. Dr. Mario Cosmo and For. Fabio
Bidese group Friends of the toads Polcenigo.
Dr. Bressi, has primarily focused its attention on the current
danger of extinction for many species of amphibians
(voracious insect and valuable piece of
food chain, their presence ensures, for example
survival of many species of birds) and then illustrate with a rich
series of images
amphibians in our region with particular reference to the area of \u200b\u200b
Polcenigo, including, in addition to
common toad (Bufo bufo-), the emerald green and yellow-bellied. Even
different frogs inhabit the western Friuli between
which for brevity we mention the frog and the Dalmatian
Lataste of which are considered "species of Community interest
" and therefore protected by the Habitats Directive EEC
. There are also several species of salamanders and newts
, the latter infallible
enemies of the tiger mosquito.
Dr. Bressi, subsequently, he indicated which can be
solutions to mitigate the consequences
amphibians due to habitat fragmentation, as occurs in Polcenigo
precisely where the amphibians of the forest, where
overwinter, must reach the water to breed,
in spring, with the foothills on the road impassable
cross.
The best solution, said Dr. Bressi,
is certainly the bottom of the viaduct, or
temporary closure of roads (the only viable way
secondary and alternative), but also that of the tunnel barriers is a good solution
practiced in several European countries
.
Dr. Fabio Bidese and Prof. Mario Cosmo,
latter since 1996 has put in place initiatives to pro
Polcenigo amphibians, have retraced the steps to protect
made in recent years by a group of volunteers, the Friends of
toads, including the creation of an information brochure
in collaboration with the Province of Pordenone.
In particular, attention has focused
task that is performed in Polcenigo,
along the upstream side of the road above the town where the Holy
, every January in the period immediately preceding the
migration, are prepared
temporary barriers. Subsequently, in February and March, when the migration begins
, volunteers armed with flashlight, rubber gloves
, reflective vests and bucket every night collect
amphibians behind the barrier to free
downstream of the road.
Dr. Bressi has shown that this method of saving
can be used only temporarily
waiting for a different solution, as the tunnel barriers
that all the associations in unison
hope. In this sense, the Province of Pordenone,
solicited volunteers will hopefully take into account the implementation of the necessary
underpasses,
perhaps as early as 2010, since it is the international year of biodiversity
. "
But what is the reason for a lot of work on amphibians? The
Dr. Bressi replied that conserve biodiversity
means to protect the very survival of human species
, which is a piece of the entire ecosystem. Some
volunteers in the audience loved: like any other animal
also the toad has an intrinsic value, the value
of their existence.

Rashes Between The Eyes And On Nose
NO BUTTS FOR NEW YEAR
League Abolition of Hunting Friuli calls not to buy fireworks New Year's Eve.
The fireworks are the cause of death, injury and trauma to dogs, cats, pets and birds. Those who love nature and animals prefer the explosion of champagne.
blast of fireworks in the night cause unimaginable damage to animals, birds of a sudden because a fear that causes them to flee from dorms (Trees, bushes and rooftops), flying blindly in the dark for miles, going to die smashed onto some wall, tree or electrical cables, and those who manage to land or settle in a few trees often die frozen to death due to the rigorous winter temperatures and lack of shelter.
In cats, especially dogs, creating a sudden severe stress and fear that they yearned to escape from their gardens and fences, to escape the unbearable noise to them, often ending up victims of traffic or obstacles not visible in the dark.
In farm animals such as cows, horses and rabbits, the effects of explosions can cause abortion in pregnant animals, even trauma from fear.
should be noted that dogs, cats and small pets are frightened almost to death for the fireworks of New Year's Eve, and this is particularly due to their hearing threshold developed and infinitely more sensitive than human.
The man has a hearing with a perception between the frequencies known as infrasound, at around 15 hertz, and those referred to as ultrasound, above 15,000 hertz.
Dogs and cats, however, show far superior hearing abilities of the dog up to about 60,000 hertz, while the cat up to 70,000 hertz.
San Silvestro who owns dogs and cats must follow some details: in the case of cats, you should lock them up in quiet places (garage, bathroom, etc..) can close the windows so that the flashes, as well as noise, have fallen; behave completely normal, especially in the case of dogs, without trying to reassure and to cherish the animal if it shows fear that if the dog sees the owner does not shake, so you feel more comfortable.
The LAC therefore advises the public not to buy fireworks in order to save hundreds of thousands of animals from death, probably by accident and trauma stress.
who unfortunately had already bought fireworks to use at least avoid the dark (when the birds are sleeping in the various shelters) and close of trees, bushes and houses where they kept dogs, cats and pets.
not use the fireworks will be a sign of civility and sensitivity even in respect of all stakeholders, especially the Fire Department, the first year must take action to rescue refuge animals everywhere.
must not forget that the Police and the State Police may apply to all an article of the Criminal Code, the 703, sadly forgotten by many, but still in force, which reads: 'Whoever, without the permission of the Authority, in a village or its surroundings, or along a public street or in the direction of it (... omitted ...) lit fireworks, or rocket launcher (... omitted ...), or in general, ignition or explosion is dangerous, shall be punished by a fine of up to pounds 200,000, if the offense is committed in a place where he is meeting or contest persons, the penalty is up to arrest a month.
The LAC advises the public to report to the authorities the abuse of fireworks and incidents that could affect the animals.

Removal of wildlife and hunting outside the hunting season
In a period of cuts is the only thing that increases the possibility to kill the animals allowed outside the hunting season if the art is approved. 3 co. 4 of the bill. 92 (Finance Act 2010) into question in recent days. This article provides that in certain areas Canine Let the slaughter of wildlife and hunting outside the hunting season, or the so-called "vintage hunting."
Canine Areas - those areas identified for training of hunting dogs in the Reserves, will become a free zone where animals rescued from farms, which in fact become legally wildlife may be killed at any time of year
. The dangers are obvious, as will be the inevitable
disturbance caused by these activities at particular times, such as the reproductive period routinely closing of hunting.
addition, the provisions of Article 3 co. 4 is clearly unconstitutional, since it contrasts with the Framework Law 157/1992 on the hunt, if this article indicates. 18 the time span of killing of wild animals hunted between September 3 and January 31, regardless whether the same was born on a farm or not, in a dog or not. The prediction contained the above DDL contrasts also with the art. 30 L. 157/1992 which makes an offense the exercise of hunting outside of the scheduled periods. The region should build on what contained in Decision No. 165 of 2009 of the Constitutional Court, where, in declaring unconstitutional the co. 8:09 's art. 23 LR FVG
6 / 2008, has enunciated an important principle of law in order the slaughter of wildlife taken in the light train the dogs, holding unlawful the extent of killing of animals also farmed in the outside the hunting season. The LAC
Chamber of Friuli Venezia Giulia asked the directors not to approve this rule unlawful and that brings another danger the animals free of this region.
