Après deux signalements les 9 et 13 novembre en Seine-et-Marne ainsi que le relevés de diverses empreintes, l’Office français de la biodiversité a confirmé la présence d’un loup qui rôde en Île-de-France. La Seine-et-Marne a été témoin de plusieurs apparitions d'un loup ces derniers jours. Le 9 novembre, un agriculteur de la commune de Beton-Bazoches a fait face à l'animal au cours d'une rencontre ayant permis de relever des empreintes du mammifère, comme le précise TF1 info. Le 13 novembre, un "canidé de grande taille" a été aperçu à Saint-Mars-Vieux-Maison, détaille la préfecture. Des prélèvements ultérieurs de l'Office français de la biodiversité (OFB), ont depuis confirmé que cette créature est bel et bien d'un loup. Le le loup s’est-il installé en Seine-et-Marne ? L'Île-de-France n'est pas étrangère à de tels signes de la présence du loup. Un 2023, un cadavre d'un de ces animaux avait été retrouvé à Fontainebleau, comme le rappelle TF1 info. "Ce type d’observation fortuite et isolée peut survenir en automne/hiver et ne permet pas d’affirmer que le loup est installé durablement en Seine-et-Marne", précise l'OFB. "Il convient, à ce stade, de rappeler que le loup est une espèce protégée et qu’aucune attaque de troupeau n’a été signalée dans notre département", indique la préfecture auprès de TF1. La chambre d'agriculture d'Île-de-France a, de son côté, indiqué que la Seine-et-Marne restera classée en cerclage de niveau 3 en 2026. Cela signifie que "la prédation du loup est possible à moyen terme". L'OFB recense 1.013 loups en France, la majorité étant installés dans les Alpes, le Massif central, le Jura et les Pyrénées. L'extinction proprement dite du loup en France remonte aux années 1930. On estime que le dernier loup abattu lors de ce déclin l'a été dans le Limousin en 1937, comme le rappelle Sud-ouest. Néanmoins, le loup a officiellement fait son retour dans l'Hexagone depuis 1992, mais demeure sur la liste rouge des espèces menacées.
