Question 16194 — woods and forests

Summary

Mr. Rémi Delatte draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the significant consequences, both economically and health-wise, of episodes of drought on the softwood harvest in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté and Grand Est regions. Above 20°C, the ambient temperature within spruce stands favors the proliferation of the bark beetle, a parasite colonizing trees by consuming the living part of the bark of trees, leading to the death and collateral development of various fungi. Impacting the softwood harvest, up to 30% this year, this phenomenon is likely to recur more and more often with the multiplication of drought episodes. Without taking into account the emergency measures allowing the forest-timber sector to cope with the essential felling and transport of infected wood, he would like to know the measures that the Government intends to take action to better anticipate and thus limit the damage during future episodes of bark beetle attacks due to drought.
