Question 11878 — woods and forests

Summary

Mr. Marc de Fleurian draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature to the recommendations of the report submitted in May 2025 by the General Inspectorate of the Environment and Sustainable Development and the General Council of Agriculture, on the contract linking the State to the National Forestry Office. To ensure forest renewal, the State and the ONF are calling for “a shock regulation of wild ungulates” in national forests and are considering classifying deer and roe deer as “species likely to cause damage”. Under the guise of promoting the forest-game balance, such recommendations carry the risk of eradicating deer, does and roe deer, particularly in the national forest of Retz, labeled “exceptional forest” since 2022, where the Deer, originally a lowland species, have found refuge since rural urbanization and have acclimatized there. The objective of forest-game balance requires shared attention which involves cooperation between hunters and foresters for appropriate regulation of deer populations. He asks her if she plans to relax the recommendations of the ministerial report in their application and to review the sampling quotas imposed by the ONF, excessive in view of the forest's capacity to accommodate deer.
