The Italian Parliament has amended Constitution, articles 9 and 41. This is an important fact also for the protection of sturgeons. Article 9, in fact, is part of the “fundamental” articles of the Constitution. It already contained the protection of the landscape heritage and the historical and artistic heritage of the Nation, with this reform the Republic also attributes the protection of the environment, biodiversity and ecosystems “in the interest of future generations”, and explicitly specifies a principle of protection for animals.
