This Breton association provides a wildlife mediation service that enables us to learn how to better cohabit with wildlife, and thus preserve biodiversity in the best possible way!

Solution
The Trisk'ailes wildlife mediation service assists over 2,800 people every year, helping around 8 birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians a day. In this way, the association transmits the right gestures, and helps to avoid errors of interpretation and action, and to limit unnecessary interventions (capture, placing in captivity and transport being stressful acts for wild animals).
This way, Trisk'ailes favors the least intrusive possible intervention on site. Thus, during the breeding season (March-August), its team guides the birds back to the nest or builds a replacement nest.

Gulls persecuted on the roads
In March 2024, we came to the aid of 76 wild animals, still an average of 2 animals every day, via our telephone mediation service.
Spring is slow to set in, even though the month's temperatures were very warm for a month of March. So, births have begun, notably among pigeons and turtle-doves, overtaken by squirrels and hedgehogs.
But in March, it was mainly cases of collisions with cars, in town, that allarmed us. We received 9 calls about seagulls injured on the road, mostly broken wings.
The significant presence of these seabirds in an urban environment, in this case in Lorient and the surrounding area, leads to regular contact with us humans. Our vigilance is required, as our daily activities have a real and disastrous impact even though the breeding season has not yet begun.
To understand the damage caused by our activities such as urbanization and land artificialisation, and to reduce their impact such as that of our vehicles, we will be running the 3rd online training session "Les Bons Gestes : What to do when faced with a wild animal in distress?" on April 25, 2024 at 6pm. Registrationsare already open, go to here to take your place !

Trapped owls and exhausted guillemots
Since January 1, 2024, we have helped112 wild animals, or 2 animals every day (on average) via our telephone mediation service.
January and February are the last months of the off-season for Trisk'ailes, and we can already feel activity starting to pick up in recent days.
And here are two causes of distress that have particularly struck us at the start of the year.
First, the owls found trapped in the chimney flues of private individuals. At this time of year, when chimneys are still in operation or have just been turned off, the birds of prey that choose to take up residence there are discovered covered in soot. In such cases, they need to be taken in for cleaning, particularly of their eyes.
The second highlight wasthe stormy period that forced the common guillemots to deviate from their flight and land due to fatigue. Lacking rest, malnourished and dehydrated, a dozen of these seabirds were found flat on Brittany's beaches.
To limit the damage caused by our activities as well as those of our chimneys, and to protect as many people as possible when faced with an animal in distress, we ran the second online training session "Les Bons Gestes : What to do when faced with a wild animal in distress" on February 29 to 6 people. The next session will take place on April 25, 2024 and registrations are already open !

The money will be used for
Each €50 helps 8 wild animals found injured, sick or abandoned by an individual who could be a loved one, a neighbor or yourself.

I defend environmental and animal causes, but also social ones. That's why I believe in the Trisk'ailes care center project. My aim is to create a welcoming structure that provides real well-being for wildlife and the people who help them.
