Le chant lugubre et plaintif de l&rsquo;indri et son visage \u00e9tonnamment humain lui ont valu une place non seulement dans la for\u00eat mais dans l&rsquo;arbre g\u00e9n\u00e9alogique. L&rsquo;histoire de ces l\u00e9muriens sacr\u00e9s est l&rsquo;un des exemples les plus touchants de la fa\u00e7on dont la croyance prot\u00e8ge la faune sur cette \u00eele.<\/p>\n<h2>Le l\u00e9murien appel\u00e9 \u00ab p\u00e8re de l&rsquo;homme \u00bb<\/h2>\n<p>L&rsquo;indri \u2014 le plus grand l\u00e9murien vivant \u2014 est connu en malgache sous le nom de <strong>babakoto<\/strong>, un nom g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement traduit par \u00ab anc\u00eatre \u00bb, \u00ab p\u00e8re \u00bb ou \u00ab p\u00e8re de l&rsquo;homme \u00bb. Ce n&rsquo;est pas un hasard. Chez les <strong>Betsimisaraka<\/strong> de l&rsquo;est et au-del\u00e0, il est <em>fady<\/em> \u2014 strictement tabou \u2014 de chasser ou de blesser le babakoto, car on croit l&rsquo;indri li\u00e9 \u00e0 l&rsquo;humanit\u00e9 elle-m\u00eame. Ses mythes d&rsquo;origine partagent presque tous un th\u00e8me : que les humains et l&rsquo;indri descendent d&rsquo;un anc\u00eatre commun.<\/p>\n<h2>Un visage trop humain pour qu&rsquo;on le tue<\/h2>\n<p>On comprend ais\u00e9ment comment la croyance s&rsquo;est enracin\u00e9e. Les l\u00e9muriens de la famille des Indriidae \u2014 l&rsquo;indri et les sifakas \u2014 se tiennent droits, bercent leurs petits, et regardent de grands yeux frontaux \u00e9trangement humains. Pour des gens qui tiennent que les morts survivent et veillent sur les vivants, un animal qui ressemble et se comporte tant comme une personne est un r\u00e9ceptacle naturel pour les esprits ancestraux. En blesser un reviendrait \u00e0 blesser un anc\u00eatre. Aussi, dans de nombreuses communaut\u00e9s, laisse-t-on simplement ces l\u00e9muriens en paix.<\/p>\n<h2>Quand un tabou devient conservation<\/h2>\n<p>C&rsquo;est le <em>fady<\/em> dans ce qu&rsquo;il fait de mieux : un bouclier invisible pour la faune. Dans les r\u00e9gions o\u00f9 l&rsquo;indri est sacr\u00e9, le tabou l&rsquo;a prot\u00e9g\u00e9 de la chasse depuis des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations, et il en va de m\u00eame pour divers autres l\u00e9muriens ailleurs. Ce n&rsquo;est pas uniforme \u2014 les croyances diff\u00e8rent de village en village, et une esp\u00e8ce sacr\u00e9e ici peut \u00eatre chass\u00e9e l\u00e0 \u2014 mais l\u00e0 o\u00f9 il tient, un l\u00e9murien prot\u00e9g\u00e9 par un tabou peut \u00eatre plus en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 qu&rsquo;un autre prot\u00e9g\u00e9 par la seule loi. La valeur spirituelle la plus profonde de l&rsquo;\u00eele, le respect des anc\u00eatres, fait aussi office d&rsquo;\u00e9thique de conservation.<\/p>\n<h2>Pourquoi cela compte aujourd&rsquo;hui<\/h2>\n<p>Les l\u00e9muriens tabous montrent qu&rsquo;\u00e0 Madagascar, prot\u00e9ger la nature et honorer les morts ne font souvent qu&rsquo;un. Pour un visiteur, c&rsquo;est une raison de marcher avec respect : l&rsquo;animal que vous \u00eates venu photographier est peut-\u00eatre, pour votre guide, un grand-parent.
