I must point out this beautiful book, published recently, dedicated to Deer
PRESENTAZIONE
Il cervo è il più imponente rappresentante della fauna selvatica italiana. L’uomo è da sempre profondamente legato a questa specie, che ha acquisito in passato, come simbolo di forza, bellezza e rinascita, anche un significato magico e religioso.
Dopo la distruzione degli habitat idonei e la caccia sfrenata, che hanno portato tuttavia la specie alla fine del ‘700 a scomparire da gran parte del territorio italiano, finalmente il cervo ha riconquistato negli ultimi decenni, con una serie di più o meno ponderate reintroduzioni, una parte important forest areas of the Alps, Apennines and Sardinia.
The new presence of the deer in Italy and its growth in numbers made it possible to regain an important part of the original fauna (with various and certain benefits), however, these conditions have also caused local opportunities for conflict with agricultural crops and forest human, requiring the need to achieve appropriate direct and indirect actions aimed at managing the species. E ', however, essential that any initiative taken in this direction, not to retrace the damaging examples of the past, is characterized by an approach based on rational and scientifically sound.
This book, the fruit of the joint work of two authors with different and complementary skills on the biology and management of the species, it offers the possibility to know in depth the deer, his behavior, his lifestyle needs and the relationship established with other components of wildlife and humans, in the rooms occupied in our Peninsula.
