These areas are defined by prefectural decree in the light of indications of presence or attacks The amended decree of 19 June 2009 on the operation to protect the environment in rural areas concerning the protection of herds against predation specifies the procedures for this action. The following shall be differentiated: — areas where predation on domestic herds has been observed once or several times in the last two years, called ‘first circle’; — areas where preventive action is necessary as a result of the possible occurrence of wolf predation during the current year, called ‘second circle’. In order to limit attacks on domestic herds and to assist breeders who may be confronted with the presence of predators, support for enhanced guarding, nocturnal grouping of animals and the use of protective dogs is available in risk areas defined annually by prefectural decree (measure 323 c1 of the hexagonal rural development programme). The level of this aid and the commitments linked to it depend on the size of the herd and the duration of grazing in the areas of eligibility.
