End the regime of administration to have more resources and increase surveillance to protect the pristine habitats of the Island, threatened as is known by repeated violations and by "cafone" tourism especially during the summer season.
These are the main requests brought by the Sardinia Region to the round table organized in view of the "General States of Italian protected areas" organized by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security for December 17 and 18 in Rome.
Representatives of the national and regional parks and marine protected areas of the island participated in the summit, organized by councilor Rosanna Laconi .
One of the central themes, as mentioned, was the regime of commissionership that, for years, has characterized the management of national parks in Sardinia, namely the Geominerario park, the Asinara park and the La Maddalena park . This situation, explains a note from the Region, "in addition to slowing down programming, has led to the blocking of millions of euros intended for essential interventions for environmental protection, landscape enhancement and economic development".
"Commissioning cannot be the norm for the management of our parks," explains Councilor Laconi. Adding: "Only through the appointment of presidents and statutory bodies, representing local authorities and the world of associations, will we be able to overcome this impasse and unlock fundamental resources for the protection and enhancement of our extraordinary heritage ."
Focus also on the need to increase the staff of those responsible for controls: «The issue of surveillance has been addressed decisively – underlines Laconi – and the Region has already started a three-year plan to increase the staff of the Forestas agency and has allocated funds for the purchase of marine vehicles. These interventions aim to strengthen the control of the territory and the protection of habitats».
