LET'S SAVE THE SALAMANDERS !

EVOLUTION OF THE FIGHT as of 5 February 2026
Thanks to your mobilization and your contributions, our action has been able to continue.
It is still not over, legal fees are high, but we are hopeful of winning our fight.
**Indeed, after the judgment of 5 February 2026, there is a strong likelihood of a new appeal to the Conseil d’État by Batigère (hence the need to hire a specialized lawyer).
which justifies A NEW CALL FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!**
We thank you in advance.

Here are the latest news:

05/02/2026 The petition of the Batigère companies is rejected.
**Good news for our association La Salamandre de l'Asnée!
The verdict fell this Thursday, 5 February:
- the petition of the Batigère companies is rejected;
To learn more about the reasoning of the Cour Administrative d'appel de Nancy before reaching this decision, simply go to the website of that court and click on the News section.
You will thus find the court's press release, in 2 pages, with a nice photo of one of our little protégés and, if you wish to read the full 8-page decision, just click on the corresponding link at the end of the press release in bold type.
Feel free to do so. Enjoy it — after all these years you have more than earned it and, above all, never forget that only victory is beautiful!**

At the request of COTIZUP and following regulations, we are forced to close our fundraiser. We warmly thank all generous donors.
To date, the court has not yet rendered its decision. To follow our case, you can find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/154882561833260/ or contact us at our e-mail: mailto:[email protected]
Of course, if we still have access to COTIPZ UP after the closure of the fundraiser, we will inform you through that channel.
Once again, a big thank you for your support in saving our salamanders!

27 November - Where do we stand?

Where do we stand?

First of all, a big thank you to all of you, small or large donors, ALL YOUR DONATIONS encourage us to continue our legal action.

Here are some updates on the progress of our action:

Reminder:

On 30 October 2020, the Nancy Court annulled the prefect's orders authorizing the relocation and destruction of the salamanders.

On 18 December 2020, Batigère appealed this decision.

To date:

On 19 October 2021, our lawyer, Maître Zind, submitted his defense brief to the Nancy Court of Appeal.

We are therefore now awaiting the court's response regarding Batigère's appeal and the decision could be delivered during the first half of 2022.

We have confidence in the justice system which, so far, has recognized the merits of our action.

Of course, we will inform you of the Court of Appeal's ruling.

More than ever, our common fight continues...

FUNDRAISER “STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SALAMANDERS”

Let's prevent the destruction of the marbled salamanders in Villers-lès-Nancy!



Legal proceedings are costly!
Thank you for your contribution, which even if small, will help us in our defense of biodiversity.* *

Our petition currently has nearly 50.000 signatures:**
https://www.mesopinions.com/petition/nature-environnement/halte-massacre-salamandres/80373**
**
Our action:

The last* *peri-urban habitat site of marbled salamanders in the Nancy conurbation is threatened. This place, a former football field on Rue de Versigny, adjacent to the Grand Séminaire park, was chosen by Batigères for the construction of 4 buildings.

The mayor granted the building permit and the prefect gave his consent by orders authorizing the destruction of the salamanders, a species normally protected by law…

Our association,* *La Salamandre de l'Asnée, commissioned Maître François Zind (lawyer in Strasbourg) for contentious proceedings before the Tribunal Administratif de Nancy.

On 11 May 2020, taking advantage of the end of the lockdown, while the proceedings were ongoing before the courts, Batigère launched its bulldozers!

The same day our lawyer, Maître François Zind, requested the suspension of the works from the Tribunal Administratif de Nancy.

On 8 June 2020, the tribunal ordered the suspension of the prefect's orders authorizing the relocation and destruction of the salamanders. **
The works were therefore stopped until the court ruled on the merits at the trial whose date has not yet been set. **

To continue fighting in court, we need your support! 

Our association registered W543013818 has among its statutes the protection of the environment and the quality of life of residents and animals in its area of activity. It is authorized to receive donations which will be used for the preservation of the last population of Salamanders of Nancy Métropole. The president undertakes to provide any supporting documents upon request.

 Together, we will defend our biodiversity!
