A bill has been drafted to revise hunting activity so that it can play its proper role in ecosystem management. On “green belt” lands (not covered by development plans), permission must be obtained to erect public or agricultural buildings. Luxembourg has taken steps to ensure permanent protection6 for the wildcats living in its territory (Mamer and Eisch valleys, Fingig/Kahler/Hivange region, vicinity of La Croix de Gasperich and Dudelange, forest of Bettembourg).
