Abstract
In August 2000, a fire burnt most of the vegetation in the Restonica valley (Corsica, Western Mediterranean) including ca. 730 ha of Maritime and laricio pines forests. The valley is inscribed in the network Natura 2000 (FR9400578). Comparison of data obtained during field surveys, respectively in 1992 and 2001-2002, shows that 6 of 12 territories of the Corsican nuthatch, an endemic species, have vanished from the studied areas after the fire.
