Résumé :	The Sacred Ibis Threskiornis aethiopicus is common and widespread in its native range. The species' adaptability means that it thrives in landscapes modified by human activity. In recent decades, non-native populations have become established in several areas of Europe as a result of escapes from collections, either deliberate or accidental. Such populations have the potential to establish and increase quickly, and thus to have a significant impact on native species. This paper summarises the current situation in Europe, with particular reference to France. The largest non-native populations in Europe became established in France between about 1990 and 2005, prompting a costly eradication programme, the progress and results of which are described.
