Description and content
The meta-objective of the Fauna Plan is to contribute to environmental complexity by maintaining and improving the status of animal communities. The correct management of fauna is in the interest of today's and future generations. The underlying concepts are those of biodiversity and sustainability. Taking into account, already in the planning phase, the possible interactions, direct or indirect, between interventions and the environment and the mitigation of any negative effects on the fauna component, allows human activities to be carried out and the various interventions to be implemented with a view to sustainability. The Fauna Plan, in fact, provides information of a technical nature, aimed at safeguarding certain delicate biological phases of the fauna and mitigating any direct or indirect negative effects of the interventions on the fauna habitats.
Compared to the previous document, the new Wildlife Plan presents some novelties. An initial choice was to provide a modern, streamlined and partly updatable technical-operational tool during its period of validity. This page has therefore been dedicated to the Plan web pagewhere all the documents of which it is composed can be consulted by anyone, including this text, the check-lists relating to the main taxonomic categories, the bibliography, which will be periodically updated, with particular reference to in-depth technical-scientific documents subdivided by themes, such as those produced within the LIFE+T.E.N. Project, and the maps of species presence/absence, in shape file format. Another choice that distinguishes this Plan from the previous one was to give more space to the treatment of the species of the Habitats Directive, with the aim of guiding and facilitating the design and planning of interventions in the areas of their presence. Finally, the last chapter of the Plan contains in-depth proposals for those species whose knowledge status is lacking. These proposals are collected in survey cards that summarise the topics to be analysed, and which will be developed in specific projects, compatibly with the resources available to the various structures that have declared their interest in participating. The identification of these fact sheets has the other objective of bringing together and keeping in contact the various structures and bodies that deal with wildlife in the Province in various capacities, in order to valorise and optimise human and economic resources.
