Question 15900 — animals

Summary

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature to the nuisance caused by the proliferation of storks, particularly for local communities. The stork is protected at the national level by the decree of October 29, 2009 establishing the list of birds protected throughout the territory and the terms of their protection and at community level, by Directive 2009/147/EC of November 30, 2009 concerning the conservation of wild birds. In several rural communities in Moselle, particularly in the Bischwald sector, the stork population has experienced a sharp increase for several years. Many nests are now installed on electrical poles, public buildings and homes. This situation causes difficulties increasing for municipalities: power outages, fire risks, damage to equipment and costs linked to moving or securing nests. It also generates problems of unsanitary conditions and nuisance, leading to maintenance constraints and daily inconveniences for local residents. However, as the stork remains a protected species, the possibilities for intervention by communities and individuals are extremely limited. Procedures for moving nests are strictly regulated and often involve the installation of alternative facilities to allow the birds to be resettled. Many elected officials are now questioning the adaptation of current regulations to the evolution of the species, whose numbers have increased significantly in recent decades. In this context, he asks him if an inventory of the evolution stork populations have been achieved recently and whether the measures taken to protect the species are still adapted to its current situation. He also asks what solutions can be proposed in the short term to municipalities faced with the multiplication of nests on electrical networks and buildings and the obligation to carry out prevention, security and nuisance management interventions. often expensive and complex.
