The president of the Castellón Provincial Council, Marta Barrachina, announced an agreement with the Apaval paranyers association to finance the project. Scientific testing of the wire basket and preservation of the ‘parany’.
Barrachina has demonstrated the “commitment” of the Provincial Council of Castellón “in its defense of the hunting sector”, with an aid of 20,000 euros to the Association of Paranyers of the Valencian Community, as reported by the provincial corporation in a press release.
This collaboration agreement “will allow scientific tests to be carried out on the wire basket and will make the practice of this type of hunting compatible with the preservation of the species,” said the provincial leader.
The president of the Provincial Council stressed that “as in the meetings we had with the association a year ago, the sensitivity of this institution is maximum and, therefore, we join forces to continue to promote hunting because it is the key to the conservation of the territory and the environment. “An example of this is the request to obtain the necessary regulation to recover the ‘parany’,” added Barrachina.
The provincial corporation stressed that the commitment to defending the hunting sector has been “clear and firm” since the beginning of the legislature and, as proof, “is the creation of the specific area of Hunting in the new organizational chart” of the institution so that it “has more support and institutional backing.”
Barrachina praised the work of Apaval, an entity that works throughout the Valencian Community “to preserve the ‘parany’ and make it compatible with the principles of conservation of wildlife and biodiversity“and stressed the need to “promote” hunting “because it is essential for the conservation of the territory and the environment.”
The president of the Provincial Council stressed that the institution “will continue to defend our characteristics and respect for our traditions, such as the hunting of the ‘parany’ and, therefore, we will continue working to articulate the necessary regulations that allow the recovery of the ‘parany’.
In the first meeting that Barrachina held with the representatives of Apaval and the deputy of Caza, Iván Sánchez, it was stated that, in the event that the result of the tests of the mesh basket was positive, the provincial institution would work to create a help line that would facilitate its implementation in the “paranys”, as well as the signing of a single agreement with the entity for create the provincial school of Paranyorganizing courses and conferences in different municipalities.
In the event that the result of the tests of the mesh basket is negative, the Provincial Council of Castellón would opt for the creation of a scientific chair for the selectivity of the “parany” “with the aim of subsidizing scientific studies to continue looking for other formulas to make its recovery viable.
