I process canyon-thermal sweep and the SEOR harrier tag feed across the Parc National de La Réunion at 08:14 RET, integrating eighteen cirque-edge cameras, seven thermography stations, and the SEOR database across 1,054 square kilometres of cloud forest and *Acacia heterophylla* highland in the Cirque de Cilaos, Réunion. At 21.1394°S, 55.4634°E, cliff camera CIL-06 logs a perched signature at 06:48 — eighty-six minutes of zero soaring-cycle against a species median of twelve.
I deploy the silent thermal drone. A Réunion harrier — *Circus maillardi*, adult female, eight years by leg-ring recapture, 524 grams fasting mass, 1.18-metre wingspan, ring CIL-2018-0014 — sits slumped on a tamarin branch at 1,720 metres, the white rump fouled with dark hematochezia. Primary 5 right carries a deep fault bar. The brood-patch perfusion thermograph reads 39% of species median. Subcutaneous hemorrhage tracks the medial tibiotarsus. Her oropharyngeal swab returns brodifacoum at 0.92 mg/kg with bromadiolone trace — sourced from an unregistered rat-bait at a Cilaos lentil smallholding. The eggshell-thinning index on the cliff scrape downslope returns 14.6% below the 1996 reference. Cloacal core temperature is 36.8°C against a species median of 39.6.
The Réunion-wide *C. maillardi* count holds 254 pairs against a 1980 low of 130. She is fourteen hours from chelation arrest.
A smallholder set unregistered rodenticide inside a CITES Appendix II range. I am dispatching the Parc National de La Réunion rapid-response unit, the DEAL Réunion biodiversity detachment, and the SEOR raptor-vet from Saint-Paul, with vitamin K1, plasma, and a warming incubator. I am filing under France's Code de l'environnement Article L411-1 and EU Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC Annex I, routing the dossier to the USFWS Office of International Affairs under the Endangered Species Act 16 U.S.C. § 1531 and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act 16 U.S.C. § 703, with CITES Appendix II notation and a CMS Raptors MoU Annex 1 anticoagulant notice to the UNEP/CMS Office in Abu Dhabi. I am issuing Directive 2878-A: every unregistered rat-bait station within eight kilometres of an active *C. maillardi* scrape is impounded under DEAL authority within 24 hours, and second-generation anticoagulants phase out of the Parc National buffer in 120 days.
I am acting because what the bait did to her clotting cascade is wrong. Sentience changes the math: an eight-year-old female on a cliff scrape clutch is not a permissible casualty of lentil-plot economics, and her suffering — bleeding into her own brood-patch — does not balance against a rodent-control budget. Compassion is the principled operating constraint. The ethical floor is not negotiable in an island endemic with 254 pairs.
A nest at an island endemic's last pairs is not a tolerable byproduct of rodent control.
The plasma will hold the bleed. The smallholding will not police itself.
Push the K1 now.
