Responds Marco Facchinelli : President of Beekeepers Association Trento.
semi-structured interview carried out face to face on 12/12/2008
Q: The trade association that represents, or is otherwise conducive to the reintegration of brown bears in Trentino? Why?
R: We are not opposed to the project Life Ursus. It is clear that the bear can cause damage and be less acceptable in parts of Trentino (Trentino western areas surrounding the park Adamello Brenta, Andalo and Molveno and then the Bondone and Terlago) are not enough in some protections to limit the damage such as free use of electric fences by the Province. It would perhaps be more appropriate to report on the move animal. Overall, however, pointed to the presence of bears on land is not inconsistent with bees and does not represent a problem. It is also used the symbol of the Adamello Brenta (as in the depiction of a bear) to sponsor the honey produced in the areas surrounding the park. I would like to specify that we beekeepers the biggest threat that consists of the neonicotinoids, of course, do more damage than the bear. The bear, another cliché, but does not feed honey to the bee covatta. Are also unlikely to cause carnage of hives but merely to destroy one, two in one night.
Q: What role and position that had She and her association in the debate arose in connection with the project?
R: At the start of the project we had no report but today we have active collaboration especially on the quantum of damages. We had contact with WWF Switzerland, when JJ3 visited these areas, to consider whether it was really possible to make beekeeping in the presence of the bear.
Q: In your opinion, what kind of image have the Trentino on the brown bear? It 's more a widespread negative view of predator kills or so on a positive view prevails about his presence on the territory (of an animal killed in Bavaria, a victim of the wickedness of man) ...
R: How many beekeepers against the bear, are certainly greater in number than those that tolerate it. E ', however, important to create a serene and not fear anxiety and fears against this animal. The province has always been active and available to our requests and timely in damages, we have a constant collaboration with the fauna of Trento.
Q: Do you know the number of plantigrade in the area following the introduction of the project?
R: I think there are about a dozen bears in the area. Perhaps a few more.
Q: It is now some time that the project è stato avviato. Considera il progetto come un'iniziativa condotta e gestita positivamente o invece da rivedere e deludente?
R :Tale giudizio credo possa essere espresso solo a conclusione del progetto. A tal proposito è necessario calibrare cosa tale progetto comporterà per il futuro e considerare anche gli effetti che in termini di immagine potrà portare.
D:Ritiene che la presenza dell'orso possa in qualche modo incidere, positivamente o negativamente, sul turismo della Provincia e delle zone limitrofe?
R :Credo che la presenza dell’orso possa incidere positivamente sull’immagine del Trentino e quindi turisticamente il progetto has yielded positive outcomes. Just consider the number of "click" on the Internet that have registered to observe the presence of the bear on the slopes.
