Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Unione Contadini Ticinesi had standing under Art. 46 cpv. 4 LCPN to challenge the nature protection decree
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Its statutes did not show that protection of nature and landscape was its essential statutory purpose.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal court could rely on the statutory text and the association's own statutes. Its main aims concerned agricultural economy and defending farmers' interests, while nature protection was at most incidental. The federal court found this interpretation tenable and not arbitrary.
