Saint-Martin has specific rules regarding animals and insects.
Why these rules about animals and insects in Saint-Martin?
The provisions of the Collectivité of Saint-Martin concerning animals and insects have a dual objective.
They serve both as measures to protect local wildlife and as instructions to preserve the tranquility of the living environment on the island.
Discover them without further delay.
