merci,

si certains se posent des questions sur la qualit? rare des d?marches et dannoises et allemandes , le pourquoi est expliqu? ici :

d'abord la carte de ce que l'on croie ?tre pr?sent. Il faut noter une vraie autoroute en terme de densit? ...

la suite, en html : dont Cependant, aucune zone de l'UE ne peut ?tre consid?r?e comme sans risque. mais surtout ceci : Pour renforcer la surveillance passive, les chasseurs, les autres professionnels travaillant dans les for?ts et ?ventuellement le grand public pourraient ?galement participer ? la d?tection des carcasses en simplifiant la notification, par exemple via des applications de t?l?phonie mobile. Certaines applications sont d?j? utilis?es ? d'autres fins (par exemple, l'application d?velopp?e en Allemagne: https://www.tierfund-kataster.de/tfk...ript/index.php ou au Danemark: https://play.google. com / store / apps / details? id = dk.borgertip.landbrugfoedevarer) et pourrait ?galement ?tre utilis? pour signaler des sangliers morts avec la possibilit? d'envoyer une photo et des coordonn?es ? une base de donn?es ? distance. Ces m?thodes ont ?t? utilis?es avec succ?s pour la surveillance passive des oiseaux sauvages au Danemark dans le contexte de la grippe aviaire. https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.2903/j.efsa.2018.5344 je me demande si dans une zone comme l'Europe qui pr?tend avoir un fonctionnement d?mocratique , pourquoi l'usage de ce type de logiciel n'est pas g?n?ralis? ?
