Question 8658 — hunting and fishing

Summary

In Alsace-Moselle, the organization and exploitation of the hunting territory are subject to a specific regime of “local law”. Hunting rights on the territory of a municipality are grouped into a group usually called “communal ban” whose management is organized by the municipality. However, these provisions do not apply to national forests and forests undivided between the State and other owners. The National Office of forests (ONF) is then responsible for respecting the silvo-cynegetic balance. In this context, the objective of regulating large game responsible for the damage, pursued by the State and the ONF, aims to avoid an increase in agricultural and forestry damage, and to avoid a further increase in animal populations, which can pose health or biodiversity problems. Concerning the deer, the population of free individuals has significantly increased. The population established since 1854 straddling the departments of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin, in the Illwald forest, constitutes the largest. It currently numbers nearly a thousand head. However, this species is not native to Eastern France (most individuals were previously bred), its presence in the natural environment presents risks of competition and crossing with wildlife. local wild, and its gregarious and sedentary behavior can cause damage to forest stands (in particular through debarking). It is therefore necessary to monitor and regulate its numbers, via the implementation of specific hunting plans adapted to the local context.
