Je vous ai souvent parl\u00e9 de l’Elephant Nature Park de Chiang Mai<\/a><\/strong> notamment dans cette vid\u00e9o<\/a> et vous ai un peu racont\u00e9 son histoire et celle des \u00e9l\u00e9phants en Tha\u00eflande<\/strong> mais forc\u00e9ment pas de mani\u00e8re aussi d\u00e9taill\u00e9e que le documentaire que propose en ce moment Arte sur Lek Chailert, sa fondatrice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La situation complexe des \u00e9l\u00e9phants en Tha\u00eflande<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

J’avais essay\u00e9, il y a quasiment 2 ans, de dresser un \u00e9tat des lieux de la situation et l’avenir des \u00e9l\u00e9phants et de leur utilisation dans l’industrie touristique dans mon article “Quels changements \u00e0 venir pour les \u00e9l\u00e9phants du tourisme en Tha\u00eflande ?”<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 1900, le royaume de Tha\u00eflande recensait environ 300 000 \u00e9l\u00e9phants sauvages et 100 000 captifs. En 2022, il en resterait moins de 7 000, dont pr\u00e8s de la moiti\u00e9 sont asservis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lek Chailert, une mobilisation \u00e0 toute \u00e9preuve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lek Chailert, li\u00e9e aux \u00e9l\u00e9phants depuis l\u2019enfance, a \u00e9t\u00e9 l\u2019une des premi\u00e8res \u00e0 tirer la sonnette d’alarme sur l’exploitation des \u00e9l\u00e9phants en Tha\u00eflande et \u00e0 s\u2019\u00e9lever contre ses d\u00e9rives et les s\u00e9quelles que subissent les pachydermes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle a fond\u00e9 le Elephant Nature Park en 1995 pour y recueillir des \u00e9l\u00e9phants maltrait\u00e9s et n’a cess\u00e9 de monter la face cach\u00e9e de l’industrie, loin de la carte postale bucolique de touristes se baladant \u00e0 dos d’\u00e9l\u00e9phants. Ce qui lui a longtemps valu haine, harc\u00e8lement et m\u00eame menaces jusqu\u2019\u00e0 des tentatives de meurtre. Il faut dire que les enjeux financiers sont colossaux ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Par son abn\u00e9gation, Lek a permis une grande prise de conscience chez les touristes et permis de passer progressivement d’un tourisme \u00e0 base de balades sur le dos des \u00e9l\u00e9phants et num\u00e9ros de cirque (\u00e9l\u00e9phants qui peignent, qui dansent, qui jouent au foot…), \u00e0 un tourisme plus d’observation, de bain avec eux et preparation de leur nourriture. C’est mieux mais ce n’est pas parfait et surtout en coulisses, m\u00eame s’ils se faisaient maintenant appeler “sanctuaires”<\/em> les pratiques n’avaient pour beaucoup pas vraiment chang\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le COVID-19 et les \u00e9l\u00e9phants de Tha\u00eflande<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

L’effondrement du march\u00e9, caus\u00e9 par le COVID-19, a un peu rebattu les cartes. En manque de visiteurs, tous les camps d’\u00e9l\u00e9phants de Tha\u00eflande se sont retrouv\u00e9s en difficult\u00e9 financi\u00e8re.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les propri\u00e9taires d\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9phants, au ch\u00f4mage forc\u00e9, ne peuvent plus nourrir leurs animaux, ni payer les cornacs qui s’en occupent. Certains camps qui les louaient les ont rendus \u00e0 leurs propri\u00e9taires, souvent bien incapables de s’en occuper. Certains ont pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 abandonner employ\u00e9s et \u00e9l\u00e9phants \u00e0 leur sort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lek Chailert y a vu un moyen d\u2019agir : elle s\u2019est rapproch\u00e9e des cornacs, qu\u2019elle a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d\u2019aider financi\u00e8rement, tout en commen\u00e7ant \u00e0 faire \u00e9voluer leur mani\u00e8re d\u2019interagir avec les pachydermes. Certains des propri\u00e9taires ont m\u00eame fini par se laisser convaincre d\u2019adopter ses r\u00e8gles. Elle a aussi recueilli \u00e0 l’Elephant Nature Park les \u00e9l\u00e9phants de certains camps qu’elle a rachet\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le documentaire d’Arte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Les documentaristes Jez Lewis et Jocelyn Cammack, en tournage au moment de l\u2019irruption de la pand\u00e9mie de coronavirus, brossent dans ce documentaire, un \u00e9tat des lieux choquant de la situation des \u00e9l\u00e9phants en voie d\u2019extinction mais aussi le portrait d\u2019une femme de caract\u00e8re qui, \u00e0 force de pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance, fait avancer sa cause contre vents et mar\u00e9es.
