In France, the status of the Western Orphean Warbler needs to be confirmed. There is, however, a sharp decline in its range which is currently concentrated on the Mediterranean coastline. This phenomenon may be explained by the changes of the environment due to the abandonment of traditional agricultural practices (such as sheep and goat grazing).
