Description

Revue de géographie alpine - Année 2006 - Volume 94 - Numéro 4 - Pages 119-128
Concomitant with the arrival of wolves in France from Italy, a zoning project was launched. We examine the inherent logic of this project, the underlying stakes, and the positions of the different actors concerned. What conception of territorial occupation does this zoning project, in its different versions, correspond to? The different versions of the project are based on an eco-centric vision, founded on ecological notions (viability threshold, carrying capacity) including the selection of zones from which the wolf is excluded. Measure T, which has recently succeeded this, is based more on a socio-centric vision: far from simply putting the accent on existing territorial divisions, it tends to incorporate animal protection and management methods in a policy aimed at promoting greater responsibility among the stock breeding professions.

Abstract

Concomitant with the arrival of wolves in France from Italy, a zoning project was launched. We examine the inherent logic of this

project, the underlying stakes, and the positions of the different actors concerned. What conception of territorial occupation does

this zoning project, in its different versions, correspond to? The different versions of the project are based on an eco-centric

vision, founded on ecological notions (viability threshold, carrying capacity) including the selection of zones from which the wolf is

excluded. Measure T, which has recently succeeded this, is based more on a socio-centric vision: far from simply putting the

accent on existing territorial divisions, it tends to incorporate animal protection and management methods in a policy aimed at

promoting greater responsibility among the stock breeding professions.
