Reconnu pour ses d\u00e9cennies d’engagement en faveur de la conservation, notamment pour son r\u00f4le de pionnier dans le suivi et le marquage des \u00e9l\u00e9phants afin de les prot\u00e9ger du braconnage, Iain Douglas-Hamilton est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 lundi au Kenya, pr\u00e9cise le communiqu\u00e9 publi\u00e9 mardi.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Iain a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le d\u00e9terminant dans la r\u00e9v\u00e9lation de l’ampleur du braconnage de l’ivoire, documentant la destruction de plus de la moiti\u00e9 des \u00e9l\u00e9phants d’Afrique en une seule d\u00e9cennie, ce qui a conduit \u00e0 une d\u00e9cision intergouvernementale cruciale interdisant le commerce international de l’ivoire en 1989 \u00bb, indique le communiqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Qu\u2019il soit assis tranquillement parmi les \u00e9l\u00e9phants, pench\u00e9 sur des cartes de leurs d\u00e9placements, ou survolant un troupeau \u00e0 bord de son avion ador\u00e9, cette \u00e9tincelle dans son regard \u00e9tait toujours pr\u00e9sente. Il n\u2019a jamais perdu sa curiosit\u00e9 insatiable pour ce qui se passait dans l\u2019esprit de l\u2019une des cr\u00e9atures les plus fascinantes de notre plan\u00e8te \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Frank Pope, directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du groupe.<\/p>\n
La Fondation ougandaise pour la conservation a rendu hommage \u00e0 Douglas-Hamilton, le d\u00e9crivant comme un homme qui \u00ab a g\u00e9n\u00e9reusement partag\u00e9 ses connaissances et son expertise avec la communaut\u00e9 de la conservation, inspirant l\u2019action et la collaboration. Nous honorons une vie qui n\u2019a pas seulement prot\u00e9g\u00e9 les \u00e9l\u00e9phants, mais qui a aussi donn\u00e9 aux personnes qui les prot\u00e8gent les moyens d\u2019agir. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Douglas-Hamilton laisse dans le deuil son \u00e9pouse, Oria, leurs deux filles et six petits-enfants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
