Today I saw a carbonised mouflon... at the FIAC in a piece of

I like the bird list:
"Oiseaux de passage


Alouette des champs, bécasse des bois, caille des blés, grive draine,
grive litorne, grive mauvis, grive musicienne, merle noir, pigeon biset,
pigeon colombin, pigeon ramier, tourterelle des bois, tourterelle turque
et vanneau huppé."

Starting with the lark, it confirms my deep-seated Anglo-Saxon prejudice
against French "sportsmen"!

Default French hunting list of animals and contemporary art !

Last week, I've seen at the natural history museum that the population
of birds in France has decreased of 15 % in 30 years including 10 % in
the towns (the most, 20 %, in farming lands "champs cultivés" probably
because modern farming techniques reduces the number of insects and
concentrates pesticids). There is as well 1.3 million hunters, the
largest european population, but France is too the largest country in
Europe after Russia and Ukraine (2.36 hunters / km² in FR, 3.27 in UK,
1.94 in SP, 0.95 in GER). On the other hand the number and populations
of birds species fluctuates as it has always been the case. Some
decrease including the protected "hirondelle" in towns, others
increase like the "étourneau", the "goéland" or the "cormoran". Few
have diseappeared like the "grande outarde" in early XXth c. I think.
Some are very rare like the "ganga cata", only present in a tiny
steppe in France in all western Europe or the "gypaete" whose small
population is nevertheless increasing since all preybirds are
protected in France since more than 40 years. The number of endangered
species nevertheless increases : some of the most are the single
pinguin (Torda) living in France (continental) and the "macareux", in
the oldest french natural reserve, which didn't recovered from the
consequences of Amoco Cadiz and Torrey Canyon oil polution and are at
the verge of extinction because climate change (hot) didn't help
neither. The bear of course is the most endangered mammal (about
15...) with the european "vison" and the wild hamster... but the wolf
is rapidly increasing and the lynx, the beaver or the "loutre" are
saved. The "desman", a small mammal, is endemic to France and Spain.
Nevertheless not a single mammal disappeared from France since the
auroch in the middle ages... (around 13th c.) except the pyrenean
"bouquetin" which only crossed the border and still lives on the other
side of the mountain in Spain. Because french towns are rather dense
(less land waste), the country is mountainous in several parts (5
massifs), keeps a 1/4 in forests, notably in East and south, and has a
low density of about 100 inh. /km² compared with the rest of western
Europe. Since the 80ies a few birds (3 or 4) have diseappered too in
the french overseas islands because of population and predators
increase. French tropical areas are the most at risk in fact.

You could try looking in your own country.

There you'vr got some explanations :
http://www.lpo.fr/images/Presentatio...eauxFrance.pdf

It's updated, since the tables of year 2000 that I saw at the museum :
the town birds have increased again to +- 0 % since then, but the
farmland birds have decreased more to - 39 % (10 % less than the
european average of - 29 %) ! The main tendencies are general in all
western Europe. It's contrasted : the specialised birds decrease at
the difference of the generalists ones. Some family of birds decrease
like "rales" or cold sea birds (pinguin), when other increase
"hérons", preybirds (all except Bonelli eagle the most endangered).
Concerning climate change, the tables of repartition of the 2
"bruants" (respectively in hot and cold zones) show the progression of
the hot zone one to the North. Among the rarest species the population
of 40 of them rise when 20 decline which is encouraging, but the total
number of species in this category increases of about 10. France seems
to have the largest number of species in Europe since it's at the
crossraod of 3 climate areas 277 natives birds on 448. It reaches even
545 for only observation. I should had that in addition to the
pyrenean "bouquetin", the seals (still present on North (Somme bay)
and South coastands don't have anymore reproduction in France (above
all the mediterranean one : phoque moine ?) and that the ganga cata is
also present in iberic peninsula (I didn't know it)...

160 bouquetins..., which desappeared from the french Pyrenean mountains in 1910... and from the spanish ones only in 2000, but not in the rest of Spain, will be reintroduced in France: 40 spanish animals each year from April 2013 to mid-2016:
http://aquitaine.france3.fr/2012/11/...es-152261.html

Good news: let's hope than in 3 months, the diversity of continental mammals in France will thus be reestablished to its state posterior to the disappearance of the Auroch, about... 8 centuries ago !
Furthermore, there are more and more "veau marin" seals on the Baie de Somme estuary with a colony of 290 animals in 2012. In 1998 the first reproductions were observed again as well as the arrival of a more septentrional new specy, the "phoque gris"(Halichoerus grypus), now 70 animals, thanks to the growing english population, but without reproduction. Since 1973 some few births are nevertheless observed in their 2 colonies of about 150 seals of Molene and Sept-îles in Britanny, at the extreme limit of their reproduction area:
http://eric.marchand7.free.fr/mm52.htm
http://www.picardie-nature.org/spip.php?article469
http://www.parc-marin-iroise.fr/Rich...s-phoques-gris

The mediterranean seal (phoque moine) disappeared from Corsica in 1973 and is one of the most endangered species in Europe (less than 800 individuals left in the world) and can't be reintroduced until it grows again in Greece and Italy, despite some demands of support from the European commission for a reintroduction near Cape Creus.

List of the 11 realy endangered mammal species in France with 3 of them worldwide as well:

Critical:
Chiroptères (bat), Rhinolophus mehelyi, Rhinolophe de Méhely, CR (critical), (vulnerable)
Carnivores, (brown bear) Ursus arctos, Ours brun, CR,

PS: since 2010, the number of bears rised from 15 to 26... which is encouraging:
http://ours.des.pyrenees.pagesperso-orange.fr/

Endangered:
Rongeurs Cricetus cricetus, Grand hamster, EN (endangered),
Carnivores, Mustela lutreola, Vison d’Europe, EN (+ EN worldwide)
Carnivores, Lynx lynx, Lynx boréal, EN

PS: when I went to visit Colmar 2 years ago I saw a grand hamster in the park after the railway station! He jumped in a sewers hole when he noticed me....

Vulnerable:
Chiroptères, Miniopterus schreibersii, Minioptère de Schreibers, VU (vulnerable)
Chiroptères, Myotis capaccinii, Murin de Capaccini, VU (+ VU worldwide)
Chiroptères, Myotis punicus, Murin du Maghreb, VU
Carnivores, Canis lupus, Loup gris, VU
Artiodactyles, Ovis gmelinii, Mouflon, VU
Cétacés Physeter macrocephalus, Cachalot, VU (+ VU worldwide)

Some few reptils, amphibians, fishes and insects are as well endangered but I suppose than they could be multiplied in captivity more easily.
