(ANSA) - PRATO, 06 DEC - A rare specimen of golden jackal was sighted in Tuscany, in Cava Volpaie, the oasis of biodiversity just above the town of Bagnolo, in the municipality of Montemurlo (Prato), during a night stalking with camera traps.

This was revealed by the operators of Natural Oasis and the Parsec Foundation.


    The golden jackal is not an animal that is part of the ecosystem of the Apennines, explains a note from the Municipality of Montemurlo, but is widespread in Eastern Europe and Asia; some specimens have been sighted in the pre-Alpine valleys in Friuli Venezia Giulia and in Trentino. Due to the climatic changes in progress and the transformation of the territories, increasingly urbanized, the species is progressively moving towards the south of our country. "We knew from the research groups that follow the trend of the territorial expansion of this species in Italy that, sooner or later, the jackal would use the Apennines as a corridor to move south - explains Francesco Bacci, researcher and naturalist photographer at Naturaloasis - . Confirmation of the leap came at the end of November 2021 when,from the monitoring program of the lower Prato Apennines (started in 2010 by the Natural Oasis association and from 2020 jointly with the Parsec Foundation), the first certain proofs of the presence of this animal in the territory were highlighted ". The individual of this species , taken up by the operators Natural Oasis and Fondazione Parsec, could be the first to arrive in Tuscany or even one of many already present in the area and probably soon this species will become part of the regional ecosystem in all respects.
