Abstract

The identification of land suitability for italian hare (Lepus corsicanus) is of fundamental importance for any action of conservation. Through the multi-criteria analysis has been possible to distinguish, within the park of Gallipoli Cognato, areas with different suitability for the species, in order to propose initiatives for its repopulation. Analysis has revealed that most of the area of the Park of Gallipoli Cognato has good suitability for the hare. In particular, approximately 35% of the territory appeared to be highly suited, 59% have an average suitability, 4% of low suitability, and only 2% of the territory has not proved suitable to accommodate the species. About 70% of the most suitable areas for the hare fall in the range between 600 and 1,000 m a. s. l.. Key words: Italian hare, Multicriterial evaluation, wildlife management.
