Restorative justice extends its actions to the region

#MONTPELLIER – Restorative justice consists of bringing a victim into dialogue, with the help of a mediator, ;rsquo;perpetrator or any person concerned. In 2016 Hérault, which depends on the Montpellier Court of Appeal, was a pioneer in its implementation. From this month of June, the Montpellier Court of Appeal extends its actions to the departments of Aude, Pyrénées-Orientales and Aveyron. Until then, meetings within the framework of restorative justice concerned intentional violence (assault, robbery…), by the end of the year domestic violence will also be included in this system.

Today's figure: 12

#LOZERE – This is the price in euros of a tree that you can buy in a few clicks so that it can be planted in a forest in Lozère. The goal: to offset the carbon expenditure of tourists. These trees will be planted on a plot of land owned by the cooperative La Forêt privée lozérienne. To have a tree planted in the Forest of Tomorrow, you must book your stay via the website of the Cœur de Lozère tourist office and you will receive a wooden card with an engraved QR Code and an explanatory sheet.

They steal his lambs

#GARD –14 lambs, 1 trailer, 4 geese and chicks, not including mechanical maintenance equipment… hellip; This is the loot seized by the burglars who visited the farm of Pascal Flaman, a farmer in Bouillargues. The missing lambs were "not completely weaned", a shock for the farmer who is devastated. But also a hard financial blow: the amount of the damage amounts to at least 12,000 €. Faced with Pascal Flaman's dismay, his daughter opened an online fundraiser. A welcome gesture for the farmer who admits to having difficulty asking those around him: "We help people all year round so we have to be able to accept to be helped when we need it."
