Sensitization and help
to the local population 
|
We went in India with the intention
of meeting gibbons and even if this was
accomplished and gave us an immeasurable hapiness,
we have met people too, their story, their
suffering and their daily difficulties.
If the support to the local
population, in other words the Garo, is part of
the Conservation Program of the Hoolock, it is
also source of a humanist thought in the general
idea of salving sufferings.
A program of conservation,
especially if it comes from foreigners will be
able of nothing without the support of the
authorities, but also the one of the population
living there. It implies the respect of the
culture, the customs, the language and people. At
present, we have the support of a part of the
local people, who are conscient of the actual
problems and the consequencies on the long term;
anxious about the success of the Project.
Sensitization and help to education
are keys for the success of wild populations and
forests conservation. In effect, at present, if
certain are conscious of the disappearance of
their natural patrimony, too much people still
unconscious, too much worried about their own
survival to be able to see the calamities of the
world. Naturally, when we are not hungry it is
easier to think to the future…
This is for this last reason and
also by humanism, that we want as well to
overcome several other specific problems and gaps
of this region, notably to the lack of medical
cares and malnutrition, responsible of 60% of the
child mortality, the paludism occupies the last
40% (We want to point out that this desease is
widely neglected in comparison with the
researches done on the HIV virus that touch the
rich countries; paludism is the first killer of
the world.).
Some actions have been realized in this sense like the distribution of rapid tests for malaria (p.falciparum) and the transport of the sick persons to the civil hospital (Tura). The villagers can join us everytime even during night in emergency case.
The Silsotchigre Wildlife Medium english school, the school of the program, reinforce the sensitization towards the children, providing them in the same time better basis for their future.
Finally, some ponctual actions, as the collect of clothes (in France) or the supplying of rice and other basis products are realized to answer to the needs of the isolated villages.
