COMUNICATO STAMPA DEL 31 DICEMBRE 2009

CACCAMO: Una carcassa di airone cenerino appesa ai bordi della provinciale Montemaggiore-Caccamo. La Lipu: un atto ignobile su una specie protetta!

On December 31, 2009, at the edge of the SP-117 Montemaggiore Belsito Caccamo (PA), at Km 7, was found the carcass of a heron probably killed by poachers and hung a cartel as a trophy. The warning came from a passer-by who have taken a picture after he contacted the Lipu section of Palermo, which he promptly called the Municipal Police and the Office of the City of Caccamo Hygiene and sent a message to the Forest Detachment Caccamo (PA).

Unfortunately it is not the first time that these things happen, recently it has happened with Jan. 30, 2007 4 volpi uccise e poi messe in fila ai bordi della strada per Vittoria (RG), poi l’8 febbraio dello stesso anno un’altra volpe appesa nei pressi della diga Rosamarina (Caccamo). Gesti raccapriccianti e inqualificabili, effettuati da gente con mentalità primitiva , per puro esibizionismo! Un atto grave anche perchè l’airone è una specie protetta ai sensi della legge nazionale 157/92, un uccello che, se fosse stato sparato, non poteva sicuramente confondersi con altre specie cacciabili e comunque appendere un animale alla vista di tutti, ai bordi di una strada trafficata, non è da persone civili e sane di mente, pertanto è stato un gesto volontario con un significato specifico.

Associations LAV, WWF, and Circus LIPU Erbavoglio Legambiente, agree with the Councillor's actions Ferrante, who has decided to act in a decisive improvement in the river last survivor of Palermo. In particular Ferrante shows how the Assessor's decision not to use unnecessary devastating as bulldozers and other heavy equipment directly nell'alveo river. In this way you are defending nature that slowly took over possession of the river at least until the last mile before the river mouth (Railway Bridge-Central Station). The removal of waste (including whole cars) and the denunciation of those who still insists on paying discharges into the river, it is indeed about a Councillor Ferrante from which we learn today its intention to close the truck a short distance a useful way, in fact, only and exclusively to those who come to unload materials directly into the river is.

PALERMO, GIUGNO 2009, FOCE DEL FIUME ORETO. INSOLITO AVVISTAMENTO, UN FENICOTTERO CON ANELLO NELLA ZAMPA IN SOSTA E ALIMENTAZIONE.

Ad avvistarlo per la prima volta Davide Bonaviri, guardia WWF dell’oasi di Siculiana (AG), il 9 giugno 2009. Quasi contemporaneamente, ad insaputa del primo, un birdwatcher di Palermo,

Bongiovanni Giuseppe, avvistava il grande uccello acquatico il 12 dello stesso mese. L’animale, provvisto di anello di riconoscimento veniva da entrambi fotografato. Avvisata la LIPU si provvedeva a segnalare il codice dell’anello all’ISPRA (Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale) in modo da poter ricevere notizie sulla storia di questo fenicottero. La Lipu, aiutata dal Sig. Bongiovanni, ha monitorato l’esemplare per tutto il periodo in cui ha sostato nel fiume, cioè almeno fino al 24 giugno, quando veniva osservato per l’ultima volta da Giovanni Cumbo, responsabile LIPU di Palermo. La notizia è stata ritenuta rigorosamente segreta, così come anche il luogo di avvistamento prossimo alla foce. Il timore che l’uccello potesse essere oggetto di attenzioni sbagliate non era infondato. Più volte alla LIPU sono pervenute segnalazioni acts of poaching along the Oreto right into the city limits.

The sighting is certainly exceptional, even if the river Oreto, while nell'inquinatissimo final section, subject to occasional pleasant surprises. The LIPU that monitors the city's fringe areas often seriously compromised by the naturalistic point of view has often seen, for example, the pretty little moorhens, kingfishers, herons, and small birds including bank piro piro and small carriers. Frequently even the swallows, martins, dancing the two species (white and yellow) as well as the gull real and the common gull. The Oreto does not, of course, the type of power needed to flamingos (brackish or salt water environments) but apparently has allowed at least two weeks for the survival of a young flamingo that had apparently lost his flock. The flamingos usually feed on algae, invertebrates and protozoa and a small salt-water crustacean (Artemia salina) which is responsible for the pigmentation of the pink flamingo. The food is passed through the slats in the beak of the flamingo.

From the data provided to us by ISPRA ring, it appeared that the young animal was born in Spain July 19, 2008 in wetlands near the city of Huelva in Andalusia, where it was ringed. It 'was possible to identify three months after birth in the Natural Reserve "Saline di Trapani and Paceco" in the company of a group of 30 flamingos. To saline was observed until 24 March 2009. Since then, the next sighting near the mouth of the river Oreto, or approximately 1780 km from the place where it was ringed!

Press Release of September 16, 2008

PALERMO, THE MARKET BALLARO ' IMPERA L’ILLEGALITA’:
CENTINAIA DI ANIMALI PROTETTI MESSI IN VENDITA

La LAV e la LIPU chiedono l’intervento delle Forze di Polizia

Commercio abusivo di fauna a Palermo, nuovo sopralluogo ed ennesima conferma: domenica scorsa i volontari di LAV e LIPU si sono recati presso il mercato di Ballarò riscontrando una rinnovata ed ancor più florida presenza di bracconieri. Come ogni domenica mattina venivano esposti per la vendita centinaia di uccelli appartenenti a specie protette dalla legge. “ Tutti gli animali - hanno dichiarato Alida Sacco e Giovanni Cumbo, responsabili cittadini di LAV e LIPU – are caught in the wild with traumatic methods. Unfortunately - added the two leaders - latest posts of the police go back to the morning of March 16, when they were seized more than 300 goldfinches. Since then nothing has happened and Ballarò market were sold thousands of animals all protected by law. "

LAV LIPU and have therefore decided to engage directly with the Prefect of Palermo making him reach a detailed display also sent to the attention of the Police, the Provincial Commander of the Carabinieri, the Commander of the Police and the leaders of the Forest Region Sicilian. According to the leaders and citizens of LAV LIPU, the advent of the autumn season, will lead to the massive arrival of flocks of small birds from northern Europe. It 's the business of the winter bird which replaces the capture of the spring migration and that of nestlings taken directly to the nest, which is typical - instead - the warm weather.

Italian law treats these animals as unavailable heritage of the state. The exercise of forms of hunting are prohibited by law, such as trapping, represents a major additional contribution to the depletion of wildlife. Small birds are captured by taking a mesh which often results death in 50% of the animals. Those who actually come to Ballarò represent a small percentage of animals captured.

" addition to the hunting offenses - loved Alicia Sacco and John Cumbo - should be emphasized as the abhorrent conditions of detention of birds (including the cages completely inadequate even to their minimal, essential movements) result in the violation of the full law on animal abuse, a fact also be punished by imprisonment. It is not clear as to the many Ballarò poachers convicted several times for various offenses, they can easily meet every Sunday morning than risking a complaint every 10-12 months. "
