RIASSUNTO Il ritorno del lupo nelle Valli della provincia di Torino, oltre a rappresentare un fattore positivo per l'aumento della biodiversità, ha generato dei conflitti con la zootecnia, in quanto gli operatori del settore si sono trovati ad affrontare una minaccia assente sul territorio da diverse decine di anni, e quindi a dover utilizzare dei sistemi di difesa delle greggi, antichi e nuovi, contro questo predatore. Con questa tesi si è scelto di approfondire tale tematica e valutare, negli anni, come la messa in opera dei sistemi difensivi abbia influito sull'entità degli eventi predatori. Per poter affrontare meglio la problematica sotto ogni punto di vista sono state effettuate un'analisi della normativa sulla protezione del lupo e di quella che regola i risarcimenti agli allevatori. La tesi è stata sviluppata in due momenti, nel 2004, coadiuvando il veterinario incaricato dalla Regione Piemonte di effettuare gli accertamenti delle predazioni, e negli anni successivi, facendo visite e interviste ai pastori. Durante gli accertamenti sulle predazioni si provvedeva in loco a compilare il verbale di accertamento del dannoper ogni capo predato colloquiando con il pastore e analizzando luogo di predazione ed eventuali indizi per l'attribuzione di responsabilità dell'attacco al lupo. Tra gli allevatori rimasti in contatto e maggiormente colpiti sono stati scelti dei casi studio,effettuando negli anni visite in alpeggio e colloqui, allo scopo di valutare se i sistemi di difesa proposti e in seguito introdotti fossero realmente utili a ridurre gli attacchi da parte del lupo. I dati raccolti sono stati riportati su fogli Excel; dal loro esame emerge che l'introduzione di opportune tecniche di difesa, quali l'inserimento nel gregge di cani da guardiania, l'utilizzo di recinzioni elettrificate e, in alcuni casi, di dissuasori acustici, unitamente alla presenza continua del pastore con il gregge, abbiano concorso a ridurre sensibilmente gli eventi predatori.

ABSTRACT The return of the wolf in the District Turin valleys, in addition to being a positive factor for the increase of biodiversity , has generated conflicts with livestock, as operators found themselves faced with a threat that was gone, and with it the traditional defense systems of livestock from this predator . With this thesis we have chosen to investigate this issue and assess over the years, such as the implementation of defensive systems has influenced the extent of the events predators. The thesis has been developed in two consecutive moments , the first in 2004, assisting the veterinarian appointed by the Piedmont Region to make the findings of predation . On-site for every head it was decided to complete the notice of assessment of the damage, along with the interview with the shepherdand looking at the place of predation, for any clues for the attribution of responsibility for the wolf attack.
