Question 20689 — animals

Summary

Ms. Stéphanie Rist draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, to the accident statistics between wildlife and vehicles. Despite the ministerial decree of 1963 which requires A15b signs signaling the passage of wild animals, thousands of accidents occur each year. These collisions are a significant cause of death for wild animals. In these cases of accidents caused by the passage of large wild animals on public roads, the road manager may be held liable for lack of normal maintenance or signage. The national hunting and wildlife office, created in 1972 by the Government, issues a certain number of rules to be respected in the event of a collision. However, no mandatory report is provided therefore the Collision locations are not listed. Since the causes are not established, we are deprived of any means of solving the problem. In addition, it is impossible to have access to recent statistics because no figures exist since 2009, when there were 65,000 collisions. However, highlighting these statistics can encourage the application of preventive policies. She therefore wishes to know if any changes are planned regarding the harvest of this data and what measures are taken to prevent collisions between vehicles and wildlife.
