Question 20705 — woods and forests

Summary

Mr. Loïc Prud'homme questions the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, on the elimination of consultation of competent organizations and services in the context of the issuance of environmental administrative authorizations. Indeed, in the draft decree dated April 2019 currently under public consultation, it is proposed to simplify environmental authorization procedures by removing the consultation of the ONF (National Forestry Office) for deforestation projects in public parks for example. To the detriment of safeguarding biodiversity and the public forestry service, the 4.5 million hectares currently under the responsibility of the ONF will pass into the hands of private actors. If the missions of control, management and expertise are no longer carried out by these public structures, it portends a more great freedom for those who have an interest in destroying biodiversity for reasons of profitability. The abandonment of sustainable and coherent management for the universal preservation of biodiversity is the application of old-fashioned productivist logics and the gradual privatization of the management of the French forest park. He wants to know how he intends to guarantee the protection of biodiversity and the environment while eliminating the consultation and participation of the main actors on the ground in the management of the French forest park in the territory.
