An order protecting the western capercaillie

Here, you are at Pièce d’Aval. To the north is most of the Massacre Forest, which is home to the western capercaillie.
Today, due to the species’ strong decline in numbers, it is protected by an APPB biotope protection order, which regulates all types of travel in the Massacre forest (on foot, on skis, by car). Thus, the western capercaillie is protected during two particularly sensitive periods of its life: winter and mating season.
