Solution
The Trisk'ailes wildlife mediation service accompanies an average of over 2,600 people every year, helping around 8 birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians a day. The service is based on the principle of "learning by doing", which teaches the right gestures to adopt, avoiding errors of interpretation and action, and limiting unnecessary intervention (capture, 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.

SOS Faune Sauvage de Bretagne, the regional service is (finally) up and running!
During the first containment of 2020 (COVID-19), we were forced to develop wildlife mediation, since travel was restricted. This involves telephone support for people faced with a wild animal in distress.
As a result, we helped an average of 2,600 a year. Thanks to our expertise in caring for wild birds and mammals, we've been able to improve cohabitation between humans and animals.
But until now, this mission was unevenly distributed among Brittany's environmental associations. This is no longer the case.
Since May 6, 2024, a regional service in favor of Breton wildlife has come into being. Les Terres de Nataé and LPO Bretagne, with the help of the Agence Bretonne de la Biodiversité, have set up a telephone mediation platform of which we are an operational partner.
Morgane, capacitated carer and salaried mediator at Trisk'ailes gives two days of her time and skills each week to answer via 02 57 63 13 13.
The SOS FSB these are over 500 calls handled in less than a month, i.e. at least as many animals helped, 50% of which were able to be helped without redirection to a care center or veterinarian.
Thank you for supporting our action for local wildlife!

The ball of juvenile animals in trouble
In April and May 2024, we came to the aid of335 wild animals, still an average of 5 animals every day, via our telephone mediation service.
With the breeding season in full swing, we were much in demand to help juveniles or even fledglings, particularly among nocturnal raptors. In April, we were contacted for no less than 16 owls including tawny owls, barn owls and an Athena's owl.
Fledglings fallen from the nest, emancipating juveniles, intentional or accidental nest destruction, nest disturbance, domestic predation, etc.... This is the period of vulnerability for the animals, the period of peak activity for our association and all wildlife care centers.
So we guided people through a non-intrusive in situ intervention. Because putting the young back in the nest, or creating a substitute nest to replace one that has been damaged or is unreachable, is beneficial to animals in distress. A carer, however experienced, can never replace the parent of an animal for which we humans don't have the learning codes.
To understand the damage caused by our activities such as gardening and road traffic and reduce their impact, we'll be running an online training session "Les Bons Gestes : What to do when faced with a wild animal in distress?" on June 27, 2024 at 6pm. Registrationis already open, go to here to take your place!

The money will be used for
The mediation mission impacts several expense items. Here's what your donations finance in concrete terms:
- A majority of the salary of the animal caretaker who handles 99% of the requests to help wild animals in distress
- A cell phone package necessary for processing
- Part of the electricity and internet charges
- A small part of the salary of the development officer who analyzes and valorizes mediation data to make it accessible and improve the mediation service
- A portion of the allowance reserved for the civic service volunteers trained to replace the salaried mediator during her leave

Why we love it?
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!
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.
