This weekend, a critical situation mobilized our rescue team thanks to an alert from the Creaves de Ransart. A young duck was in serious trouble, with its beak caught on a hook!

In response to the urgency, an ADT team immediately headed to the scene. Once there, our rescuers had to enter the river to reach the duck and rescue it.

With the utmost caution, we carefully removed the fishing line and hook. This delicate action allowed us to free the young duck from its suffering.

After successfully releasing it, we took the duck and transferred it to a specialized care center. There, it will receive the necessary treatments to heal its injuries and regain full health.

We are delighted to have been able to help and to see this young duck recovering. A big thank you to everyone who made this rescue possible, and let’s remember the importance of not leaving waste, like fishing lines, in nature to prevent such situations.
