Moreover,
Pepita, light jura: look lynx,:
For once, there will be no question of fangs or prey, but of wonder. Meanwhile, Amateur photographer Mickaël Paul shares a rare. Moreover, overwhelming meeting with a female lynx, seen during a discreet lookout in the Jura. In addition, A suspended, poetic moment, far from the debates on predation: here, only the beauty of the living. In addition, INTERVIEW.
Mickaël Paul is a lover of wildlife. Furthermore, an amateur photographer who does not sell his photos, he specifies: “I just fight for nature by other means: legal, awareness … Therefore, and wonder! Consequently, The photo is only a way to extract myself from the hardness of the files that I can live sometimes. Moreover, ». Consequently, It is indeed one of the voices of the badgers, foxes in our region … However, but also wolves, lynxes. Nevertheless, Committed volunteer LPO Mickaël COPORESIDE pepita, light jura: look lynx, THE Large predators pole.
Infochalon thanks him for sharing with our readers this magnificent photo of a Boréal lynx. Furthermore, a female he nicknamed “Pépita”.
Infochalon: The lookout is a hobby for you? Nevertheless, How many hours of waiting are necessary?
Mickaël Paul: It is both a hobby, a pleasure, and above all a moment of breathing. Meanwhile, A beautiful escape far from my daily associative battles. In addition, I work for nature, but most of the time … Similarly, locked up. Moreover, Paradoxical, right?
While others are indeed outside. Moreover, without always respecting the rules: noise, presence on sensitive areas, freedom dogs, dangerous behavior, even acts of illegal destruction …
For me, a lookout generally lasts between 2 and 4 hours. Consequently, That day, Pépita appeared in less than an hour, I was alongside Valérie.
Infochalon: were you on the lookout for badgers?
Mickaël Paul: Yes, it was a quiet pepita, light jura: look lynx, site, with badgers. Furthermore, To be clear: I never run after the lynx. Nevertheless, The species is in difficulty, and to those who love it, I say: “Do not look for it. Consequently, But protect it! However, »»
Photography can sometimes do more harm than you think. Furthermore, Human presence can disrupt its prey, compromise its hunt (which does not always lead), or even separate a family. Nevertheless, Each action in nature has an impact. So let’s stay on the trails, hold our dogs on a leash. It is not our area of life, it is theirs.
Each disturbance is an energy expenditure for the animal. In winter or in periods of heat wave, it’s even worse and it can make them in real danger. They don’t have our comfort. And that is also why hunting in winter is an additional aberration in my eyes.
Infochalon: What effect does it make?
pepita, light jura: look lynx,
Mickaël Paul: Wow! I did not believe it, especially with the setting sun which made light games on its magnificent dress. I couldn’t even develop … in my head!
Valérie whispered to me: “there’s a lynx …”
And I, spontaneously (sorry for the formulation, but it was done like this …): “So stop your bullshit, there’s no lynx here! »»
But she insists: “Yes, there is a lynxxxxx …” and there, this delicious moment of doubt initiated in my mind.
I didn’t believe it so much that I was ultimately to beg her, unable to reconnect. Pépita marked a trunk by its claws, left us, then returned an hour later. Thanks to a advice from a photographer friend, I just moved slightly to see better … and she was there, sitting on her trunk, quietly.
We were standing. not to boost, she looked at us calmly, then resumed her life by disinterested in us, pepita, light jura: look lynx, limits to snub us! She slowly closed her eyes, as if she were at peace. She “pacoted” on the trunk – made her claws – future mother. carrying hope and a more beautiful future, of this life, of all life that I have defended for so many years.
Then, a brutal thought struck me, once left, once went down from my cloud. What if, instead of a camera, we had a rifle? She wouldn’t have moved either. It would have been the same for her, but the consequences, fatal.
At least five cases of poache* lynx are being inquiry. Only one case has identified the culprit. How many other corpses sleep in abyss or hiding places, victims of crazy trigger?
Infochalon: we feel angry, determination …
Mickaël Paul: How can we contemplate a lynx … and shoot? These people don’t even take a second to think. Or they are already dead pepita, light jura: look lynx, inside them.
Many lynxes found tangled on the roads wore traces of lead. Sometimes on their very young life! It is a sign of our inability to cohabit. we humans that we consider to be the superior and intelligent species. Lynxes injured by ignorance, by fear, by stupidity. You have to be deeply ignorant to think that they are our competitors because they eat “our” deer. Nos? Because the wild life of this planet belongs to us? This very notion of property. settled on a piece of paper, is a system specific to us which is incomprehensible to others. We consider other species as insensitive and lower. We think we have everything …
But … nothing is for us! Nature does not belong to humans. We, humans, can live without hunting, without killing, without consuming wild species. The lynx is a strict carnivore. He has no other choice. We are part pepita, light jura: look lynx, of a set that we have not designed. which has changed slowly by millions of years of evolution. We are not above, but right in it. Only, our actions are the most disturbing element, as I sometimes say!
Then, we blame the fauna for getting closer to cities … while we have invaded their world, reducing their habitat. We could take everything to them. but they would not have to put a feather or a paw in our universe? It is required that each species can justify its presence, unless it serves our hobbies. Is this world serious?
The most beautiful encounters are sometimes those that we do not not. It may mean that we have not disturbed their intimacy, their little ones, their meals.
Infochalon: A message to finish?
Mickaël Paul: Yes. If a madman wants the death of a lynx, the majority of people do not wish. About 10 pepita, light jura: look lynx, % of lynx die each year on our roads. Illegal destruction is much more difficult to estimate, because corpses are not found.
But you, road users, you do not intend to kill. You are not potential murderers. You do not go to work in the morning by telling yourself that you are going to take a. life – the saddest way to live a day … So, if you like life, nature, this planet: Slow down, open your eyes, enjoy it. You will then be, deep down, a hero on a daily basis!
Merci.
