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.

Resources for action

With my convictions and my will, as a family or with friends, at home or in nature, in my school or in my town, I'm committed to the living world around me!

  • Engaging my institution in the E3D approach.
    The 'E3D' labeling (School or Establishment in a Comprehensive Sustainable Development Approach) was developed by the Ministry of National Education to recognize and encourage schools and educational institutions committed to a comprehensive sustainable development approach. This initiative contributes to education for sustainable development by making the institution a place of global learning for sustainable development. The approach involves all stakeholders of the school or institution (administration, teachers, staff, students, parents) and partners, including local authorities.
  • Becoming an eco-delegate
    In middle and high school classes, class eco-delegates are elected by their classmates. As primary actors in ecological matters within the school environment, these eco-delegates play an essential role in raising awareness and mobilizing their peers to make schools more biodiversity-friendly and actively involved in climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.
  • To make my establishment an eco-school.
    Eco-School provides a guide for educational teams to effectively implement sustainable development from preschool to high school. The association Teragir launched the Eco-School program in 2005. The program aims to help students better understand the world around them, enabling them to thrive and actively participate in it. It relies on the involvement of all stakeholders within a school (students, teachers, administration, technical staff, etc.) as well as the broader community (local authorities, associations, parents, etc.).
  • Informing myself, training, preparing my presentations.
    The ADEME offers young people a website where they can find all the explanations about sustainable development, climate change, daily life tips, downloadable photos, videos, as well as a space to express ideas and ask questions.
  • Working in class with the shared resources from FRENE
    The French Network for Nature and Environmental Education (FRENE), formerly known as the School and Nature Network, was established in 1983 in response to the need for teachers and nature educators to meet, exchange ideas, and improve their practices. FRENE promotes a popular, secular, and liberating education approach. This education contributes to our awareness of our place as human beings in nature and in the world. It serves as a resource for collective action through concrete initiatives. Respecting diverse approaches, affiliations, and practices, FRENE supports all stakeholders in environmental and nature education.
  • Understanding wildlife with the French Biodiversity Agency
    To understand the basics about biodiversity, the threats it faces, and the importance of its preservation, the French Biodiversity Agency and its partners offer educational kits, videos, and various resources for students of all ages and their teachers.
  • Mobilizing my city to celebrate nature with the IUCN.
    Launched in 2007 by the French Committee of IUCN and the magazine Terre Sauvage, the Fête de la Nature (Nature Festival) brings together professionals, nature enthusiasts, and the general public every May through thousands of events. Several regions, departments, municipalities, public and private organizations take advantage of this major celebration to host events showcasing the nature and biodiversity of their territories over five days, featuring more than 5,000 free events for the public.
  • Linking life, science, and the L214 law
    L214 Éducation is a campaign by the animal rights organization L214. Launched in 2017, it aims to be an educational and informative initiative that encourages young people to reflect on the condition of animals. The approach is based on scientific knowledge and animal protection laws. Using language adapted for a young audience, L214 Éducation stimulates reflection through a playful and interactive approach, overseen by a scientific advisory board.
