Gestion des forêts et du gibier dans le Valais central (essai)

Abstract

Management of forests and game in central Valais (essay) In the central Valais district, two forest-game concepts showed that after 2000 there was an intolerable situation with regard to game damage to forests. Since then, there have been significant development in the forest regime, thanks to financial equalization on a federal level and also changes to deer population. These changes made it possible to put in place serious measures to reduce damage to forest regeneration. This became possible because of a common interest which was implemented through coherent and ambitious forest and hunting measures.
