Résumé :	Metropolitan France boasts a high number and significant populations of breeding raptor species in Europe. Furthermore, it is located on major migration route for diurnal raptors. This wealth of raptors has certainly contributed to the creation of a wide network of volunteers tutored by NGOs. These, especially the "Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux" (LPO), the French partner of Birdlife International, play a key role in monitoring for raptors, including the most threatened species, both nationally with many specific networks and at regional or local level. This participatory involvement is certainly an asset for the development of monitoring programmes on a large scale. Unfortunately, no major raptor research has been carried out by academic experts in France, especially in the field of monitoring of the environment through raptors. Improving this situation by a closer dialogue between academic experts and fieldworkers and a better knowledge of common species are the main future challenges.
