The DREAL Occitanie is launching an electronic public consultation from October 21 to November 4, 2026, regarding a request for derogation from the prohibition of destroying protected species. The project aims to deter the Grey Crane in several municipalities in the Gard Camargue (30) to prevent crop damage.

This procedure, required by the environmental code, invites the public to submit observations on the derogation request file. Available documents include the 2025-2027 management plan, Cerfa forms, the CNPN's opinion, and the response to the CNPN.
Interested citizens can submit their opinions via a dedicated electronic form. After the consultation, the decision will be published in the administrative acts collection of the Prefecture of Gard and on the DREAL Occitanie website.
