Question 23999 — animals

Summary

Ms. Frédérique Tuffnell alerts the Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition to the extremely worrying situation of the rock ptarmigan, whose species, emblematic of the Écrins National Park, is one of the most threatened in the Alps. The ptarmigan, also called snow partridge, is a galliform present all year round in high mountains, in the Alps but also in the Pyrenees. Since the beginning of the 1950s, there has been a sharp decline of its range (34% less habitat), which climate change can only worsen. Despite the strong pressure on its habitats, the ptarmigan must share them with other users of the mountain, both in winter and summer. However, the rock ptarmigan remains a hunted species in the three departments of the Northern Alps: Isère, Savoie and Haute-Savoie. As its population decreases, she questions it about measures considered to protect it as best as possible.
