Question 14977 — animals

Summary

Ms. Sandra Delannoy alerts the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature to the particularly worrying proliferation of the yellow-legged hornet in the Avesnois territory, in the Nord department. For several months, residents, beekeepers, communities and field workers have noted a massive presence of this invasive exotic species, including the consequences are now well documented: destruction of pollinating insects, weakening of apiaries, damage to local biodiversity and increased risks for human safety. Faced with this situation, several French territories have initiated coordinated campaigns of selective trapping and destruction of nests, bringing together communities, emergency services, beekeeping associations and residents. In Avesnois also, citizen initiatives are structured around the deployment of traps in municipalities and individuals in an attempt to limit the proliferation of the species. The Government recently announced the launch of a national plan to combat the yellow-legged hornet, with an annual budget of 3 million euros, as well as the opening of an aid window intended in particular for communities and structures. mobilized on the ground. However, many questions remain regarding the concrete modalities of access to this system, both for individuals and for EPCIs and rural communities faced with significant costs of destroying nests. Consequently, she asks what national and territorial communication will be implemented in order to inform individuals, municipalities and intermunicipalities of the existence of this help desk and the steps to take to benefit from it; if an operational support system is planned, in particular in the form of a toll-free number, a national reporting platform or a single departmental window allowing residents to be quickly directed; whether individuals who have had to incur costs for destroying nests by approved professionals will be able to benefit from support or reimbursement, total or partial, of expenses incurred and finally what specific means will be mobilized in heavily affected areas, such as Avesnois, in order to ensure a coordinated response between the State, local authorities and health and beekeeping stakeholders.
