Pendant plus de cinq siècles, la communauté Bishnoïs du Rajasthan a vécu en harmonie avec les nature. Ils ont fait de la protection de la faune et de la flore et de l'environnement l'affaire de leur vie.
For over five centuries, the Bishnoi community of Rajasthan has been living in harmony with nature and wildlife in India. They have made wildlife conservation and environmental protection their life’s work, protecting trees and wildlife, in particular the Blackbuck antelopes. The age-old Bishnoi ethos, as presented in this documentary by award-winning French photographer Franck Vogel, points us toward new practices and innovative ways of treating our threatened world environment.
