Spring is a time for new life, including newborn fawns in the grassy prairies that surround their forest homes. 🦌

Sadly, this also coincides with the hay harvest, which puts the fawns in danger as they can be fatally mowed down by tractors.

To combat this issue, volunteers from Sauvons Bambi Luxembourg use heat-sensing drones to scan fields before a harvest and then move the animals to safety. They are now launching a pilot project in partnership with local communes called Sauvons Bambi. 🌱

👉🏼 Read our latest article to learn more about Sauvons Bambi Luxembourg, including how you can become a volunteer and their upcoming info sessions in Saeul and Steinfort: https://www.neighbour-magazine.com/journal/saving-bambi-one-field-at-a-time

Le printemps est synonyme de vie nouvelle, notamment pour les faons qui viennent de naître dans les prairies herbeuses qui entourent leur maison forestière. 🦌

Malheureusement, cette période coïncide également avec la récolte du foin, ce qui met les faons en danger, car ils peuvent être fauchés mortellement par les tracteurs.

Pour lutter contre ce problème, des bénévoles de Sauvons Bambi Luxembourg utilisent des drones détecteurs de chaleur pour scanner les champs avant la récolte et puis ils mettent les animaux en sécurité. Ils lancent actuellement un projet pilote en partenariat avec des communes locales, appelé Sauvons Bambi. 🌱

👉🏼 Lisez notre dernier article pour en savoir plus sur Sauvons Bambi Luxembourg, notamment sur la façon dont vous pouvez devenir bénévole et sur leurs prochaines séances d'information à Saeul et Steinfort: https://www.neighbour-magazine.com/journal/saving-bambi-one-field-at-a-time
