Details
The stone marten is a creature of civilisation and is doing increasingly well in Flanders. The presence of this small predator is accompanied by damage to buildings. It is easy to chase away a marten, but unfortunately a lot of damage and inconvenience has often already been caused before the stone marten is chased away. The preventive protection of buildings is a sensitive issue because it often involves large investments and personal advice is needed for each building. By raising awareness of effective preventive measures, damage can be prevented in the future. It is not known which preventive measures work best. INBO and ANB want to work together on this. We also want to create an assessment framework for problem situations where preventive measures are not enough and damage continues to occur.| Status | Running |
