La communaut\u00e9 des chiens<\/strong><\/p>\n

Si vous entrez dans le bois Angell \u2014 une for\u00eat de 80 ha, en banlieue ouest de Montr\u00e9al \u2014 vous croirez peut-\u00eatre qu\u2019une meute de loups vous entoure. Chaque jour, des dizaines promeneurs de chiens s\u2019y rendent, guid\u00e9s par des sites comme Dog Friendly Planet ou pets.ca, et laissent leur animal courir en libert\u00e9. La sc\u00e8ne a quelque chose d\u2019effrayant\u00a0: au milieu d\u2019une for\u00eat mature, des dizaines de chiens se pourchassent, jappent et se roulent par terre, comme s\u2019ils \u00e9taient revenus \u00e0 leur \u00e9tat naturel. Les chiens forment une communaut\u00e9, peut-on lire sur Dog Friendly Planet et cette communaut\u00e9 trouve au bois Angell le lieu de son \u00e9panouissement.<\/p>\n

D\u2019autres communaut\u00e9s se partagent cependant cet espace. En outre, le bois abrite plusieurs esp\u00e8ces rares\u2009; les biologistes y signalent la pr\u00e9sence exceptionnelle d\u2019\u00e9rables \u00e0 caryer et de fr\u00eanes rouges. C\u2019est aussi l\u2019un des plus grands bois\u00e9s et des plus grands milieux humides de l\u2019\u00eele de Montr\u00e9al. La quasi-totalit\u00e9 du bois appartient \u00e0 des propri\u00e9taires priv\u00e9s qui souhaitent rentabiliser leur investissement. L\u2019Association pour la protection du bois Angell (APAB), un organisme local, milite pour la conservation de cet \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me.<\/p>\n

Entre la communaut\u00e9 des \u00e9cologistes et celle des investisseurs, les promeneurs de chien jouent un r\u00f4le paradoxal. En tant qu\u2019utilisateurs du bois, ils appuient l\u2019APAB dans sa lutte. L\u2019association peut compter sur la pr\u00e9sence massive des chiens et de leurs ma\u00eetres lors de ses \u00e9v\u00e8nements publics.
\nEn contrepartie, en pi\u00e9tinant les fleurs, en pourchassant les oiseaux, les chiens exercent une pression majeure sur l\u2019\u00e9cosyst\u00e8me. Ils permettent au bois de survivre, mais rognent un peu de ce qui le rend unique.<\/p>\n

Des alli\u00e9s improbables<\/strong><\/p>\n

Les chiens et leurs ma\u00eetres ne sont pas les seuls \u00e0 contribuer de mani\u00e8re paradoxale \u00e0 la protection du bois.
\nEn 2012, l\u2019APAB a command\u00e9 une \u00e9tude de circulation \u00e0 une firme de g\u00e9nie afin d\u2019identifier l\u2019impact d\u2019un projet r\u00e9sidentiel dans le bois Angell. L\u2019\u00e9tude conclut que le temps d\u2019attente \u00e0 l\u2019intersection pourrait tripler et atteindre plus de trois minutes\u2009; arm\u00e9s de ces r\u00e9sultats, les membres de l\u2019APAB ont distribu\u00e9 des feuillets aux automobilistes coinc\u00e9s dans la circulation. M\u00eame si ces banlieusards en voiture occupent eux-m\u00eames une maison construite \u00e0 l\u2019emplacement d\u2019un champ ou d\u2019un ancien bois\u00e9, leurs int\u00e9r\u00eats, en tant qu\u2019automobilistes coinc\u00e9s dans la circulation, sont oppos\u00e9s au d\u00e9veloppement r\u00e9sidentiel.<\/p>\n

De mani\u00e8re encore plus surprenante, le d\u00e9veloppement r\u00e9sidentiel lui-m\u00eame peut fournir des alli\u00e9s \u00e0 la protection du bois. Une partie du site a \u00e9t\u00e9 prot\u00e9g\u00e9 dans le cadre d\u2019une entente entre l\u2019APAB et le Groupe immobilier Grilli, un promoteur qui a r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement \u00e9t\u00e9 la cible des \u00e9cologistes de la banlieue ouest. L\u2019APAB a conclu un pacte de non-agression avec Grilli\u2009; en \u00e9change, celui-ci a c\u00e9d\u00e9 une partie de terrain pour la conservation et vers\u00e9 une somme importante pour chaque maison vendue. Avec la vente des maisons, l\u2019APAB s\u2019est constitu\u00e9 un v\u00e9ritable tr\u00e9sor de guerre, qui lui permet d\u2019engager des avocats et de commander des \u00e9tudes. Plusieurs propri\u00e9taires des McMansions construits par le Groupe Grilli appuient maintenant la protection du bois et sont devenus membres de l\u2019APAB.<\/p>\n

Un \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger<\/strong><\/p>\n

L\u2019APAB veut prot\u00e9ger l\u2019\u00e9rable \u00e0 caryer et le fr\u00eane rouge. Mais l\u2019\u00e9cosyst\u00e8me d\u2019humain qui s\u2019est form\u00e9 autour du bois Angell est peut-\u00eatre aussi rare et exceptionnel que la flore qui s\u2019y trouve. Les automobilistes au feu rouge, les chiens et leurs ma\u00eetres, les constructeurs et les propri\u00e9taires, les \u00e9cologistes et les investisseurs\u00a0: toutes ces communaut\u00e9s se trouvent dans un \u00e9tat d\u2019\u00e9quilibre pr\u00e9caire. Si cet \u00e9quilibre se maintient, le bois continuera \u00e0 vivre, \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s semblable \u00e0 ce qu\u2019il est aujourd\u2019hui. Dans 20 ans, dans 30 ans, il faudra peut-\u00eatre cr\u00e9er un nouveau statut de protection pour transmettre aux g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures l\u2019improbable \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me d\u2019humains qui s\u2019est form\u00e9 autour du bois Angell.<\/p>\n
