The little observer's guide
As nature lovers, we like to observe, and this is an essential step in generating the desire to preserve and protect the living world around us. But observing requires good practices and precaution to avoid disturbing ecosystems. To be as discreet as possible, there are a few simple rules to apply at any age, and to pass on to the younger ones.
1
Le triangle de la responsabilité
Nommer les plantes sur votre trajet quotidien, découvrir l’exotisme des parcs et jardins de votre région, identifier le chant des oiseaux à votre fenêtre, redécouvrir les espèces qui colonisent les cours d’eau et les bois de nos régions, l’émerveillement est à portée de main partout, tout le temps, pour tous les âges !
2
La courbe du changement
La patience sera le maître mot de vos sorties naturalistes. L’apparition des animaux dans l’axe des jumelles ne se commande pas ! Prenez le temps de bien préparer vos sorties, d’identifier les passages les plus prometteurs, de vous équiper chaudement au besoin et d’emporter de quoi préparer une attente confortable. Ou au contraire partez le nez au vent en profitant ce que la nature vous offrira spontanément sur votre chemin ! Certains animaux s’entrevoient seulement l’espace de quelques secondes au détour d’un chemin. Mais l’observation peut aussi être un jeu de patience : planter quelques graines dans un pot en classe, observer jour après jour la croissance d’une fougère, laisser un carré de pelouse revenir à l’état sauvage, etc.
3
Biais de réticence au changement
Pour approcher les animaux les plus farouches, la discrétion est de mise. En vous déplaçant silencieusement vous augmenterez vos chances de les apercevoir. Vous ne perturberez pas non plus toutes les espèces dont vous ne soupçonnez même pas la présence mais qui vous ont pourtant entendu approcher de très loin. A proximité des animaux, parlez doucement et ne faites pas de mouvements brusques pour ne pas les alarmer.
4
S'informer pour contrer le climatoscepticisme
Avec le silence et la patience, la gestion de la distance est l’autre clé pour observer la nature. Approchez les animaux en les contournant plutôt qu’en vous dirigeant frontalement vers eux pour ne pas les stresser ni provoquer de comportement défensif. Utilisezdes jumelles et stoppez toute approche au moindre signe d’inquiétude ou d’éloignement. La distance à respecter peut varier selon les espèces et les individus mais aussi des saisons (pendant la période de reproduction par exemple), renseignez-vous bien avant de partir.
5
En parler autour de soi
Si vous restez des heures à l’affût, laissez l’endroit complètement propre et sans traces de votre passage pour ne rien perturber. Et si en chemin des déchets jonchent votre route, ayez la gentillesse de les emporter avec vous. Ne laissez rien à manger aux animaux non plus. Vous pourriez malgré vous leur créer des problèmes de santé, modifier leur comportement ou créer des habitudes néfastes envers les promeneurs.
6
Accueillir ses émotions (pour mieux les transformer)
Pour préserver les espèces, pour votre santé et votre sécurité, ne prélevez rien sans certitude absolue et ne touchez jamais aucun animal. Prendre de petits animaux comme des crustacés ou des insectes même si ce n’est que pour les observer dans un seau pourrait leur être fatal. Toucher un nid pour voir s’il abrite des œufs peut subtilement perturber l’agencement de la végétation autour, ce qui peut gêner le retour des parents ou donner accès aux prédateurs. N’approchez jamais un jeune animal : c’est bien connu il est rarement seul et la mère n’est pas loin. Pour la cueillette des végétaux ou des champignons, renseignez-vous au préalable sur les lieux autorisés et ne prenez jamais le risque de cueillir – encore moins de goûter – ce que vous ne connaissez pas.
7
Regarder la situation en face
Ne passez pas à côté du spectacle complet de la nature en vous basant uniquement sur votre vue. L’observation passe par les 5 sens :appréciez la vie sous toutes ses nuances de formes et de couleurs selon les saisons, touchez la texture d’une feuille ou d’un tronc, sentez l’odeur de l’humus en forêt ou de l’air marin sur le littoral, savourez – sur les conseils d’un expert – le goût des plantes sauvages aromatiques, écoutez le chant des oiseaux mais soyez également a l’affût du moindre craquement de branche ou… du silence.
8
Rejoindre une initiative
Pour les artistes ou les plus manuels, essayez-vous au land art en créant œuvres et instruments de musique depuis des matériaux naturels, ou essayez-vous simplement au dessin ou la lecture en pleine nature.
9
Prendre la parole publiquement: vos voix comptent!
Bien préparer son expédition, quelle que soit son envergure, est la garantie d’un bon moment en pleine nature. Les associations, les offices de tourisme et les différentes institutions vous donneront toutes les informations pratiques, légales ou scientifiques dont vous pourriez avoir besoin. Pensez à bien préparer votre trajet, à vous renseigner sur la réglementation, les périodes de reproduction, les zones de nidification et les frayères, etc.
Les guides locaux et les associations sauront aussi vous faire profiter de leur expérience pour une exploration inoubliable.
