Dear everyone,
I’m writing a study about the impact of the law requiring the destruction of thistles on populations of bumblebees in Europe. To do this, I’m looking for information about this law in each country of the European Union. I would be very pleased if you could provide these few information:
- Is there (or was there) a law on the destruction of thistles (e.g. Carduus spp. and Cirsium spp.) in your country?
- If so, since when?
- Does it apply to the whole country or just to a region?
- Which species are involved?
- Would you know any studies that have already dealt with the consequences of such a law on biodiversity?
Many thanks in advance for your help !
Sarah
