    BISHNOIS - Ecologists since the 15th century

    For over five centuries, men and women living in the Thar desert in Rajasthan, India, have been willing to give their lives to protect wild animals and trees, living with them in total harmony after considering them as members of their family. Recognized as the world first ecologists, the Bishnois, which means 29 in local language, are following the 29 rules established in 1485 AD by guru Jambheshwar. This followed an apocalyptic environmental vision that showed mankind slowly digging its own grave.
    Many individuals have joined this movement. Today over 600,000 Bishnois are fighting to preserve nature and wildlife in the Thar desert.

    BISHNOIS - Ecologistes depuis le XVe siècle

    Depuis le XVe siècle, des hommes et des femmes vivant dans le désert du Thar au Rajasthan, en Inde, sont prêts à donner leur vie pour protéger les animaux sauvages et les arbres avec lesquels ils vivent en symbiose jusqu’à les considérer comme des membres de leur famille. Reconnus comme les premiers écologistes du monde, les Bishnoïs - les 29 en langue locale - suivent les 29 règles établies par leur prophète, Jambheswhar, suite à une vision apocalyptique en 1485, où l’Homme méprisait l’environnement et creusait sa propre tombe.
    De nombreux individus ont adhéré à l’époque à ce mouvement spirituel. Aujourd’hui, plus de 600 000 Bishnoïs se battent pour préserver la nature et la vie sauvage du désert du Thar.
