Wild birds are sensitive to environmental and climate change. Indeed,
many species are declining sharply in number. According to the
European Environmental Agency, between 1990 and 2023, common
farmland birds decreased by 15%, while common forest birds
decreased by 4.5%. Caused by increasing anthropogenic pressures, this
major decline represents a serious threat to the conservation of the
natural environment. Could Noahʼs ark avoid being capsized, thanks to
secondary law, in particular the Birds and Habitats Directives?
