Conférence de Gopalasamy Reuben Clements organisée par la Société des Amis du Muséum, Amphithéâtre de Paléontologie le 15 octobre.  Gopalasamy Reuben Clements est professeur associé à Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (Malaisie) et chercheur responsable d’un projet de conservation du tigre. La conférence fait une large place aux images photographiques et vidéo. Elle sera donnée en anglais, avec traduction en français.

Résumé. «Le Livre de la jungle» de Rudyard Kipling raconte comment Mowgli, un petit homme élevé par une famille de loups, a entrepris un voyage à la recherche de son identité, tout en essayant de fuir un tigre. Le film fut un immense succès et une suite est en préparation, et on ne sait pas encore comment l’histoire se poursuit. Et si le film était produit en Malaisie? Dans la jungle, Rimba en malais, est-ce qu’un Mowgli plus âgé se serait lié d’amitié avec les mêmes animaux ? Aurait-il été également poursuivi par un tigre ? Est-ce que les jungles de Malaisie sont confrontées aux mêmes menaces des hommes? Rejoignez-nous pour un aperçu du Livre Rimba !

Abstract. Rudyard Kipling’s ’The Jungle Book’ was tale of how Mowgli, a man-cub raised by a family of wolves embarked on a journey of self-discovery while trying to flee a tiger. The movie was a big hit, and now the directors are in the midst of making Jungle Book 2. We don’t know how this sequel will turn out, but what if the movie was set in Malaysia? In the jungle, which is known as ’Rimba’ in Malay, would an older Mowgli have befriended similar animals? Would he have been chased by a tiger as well? Do the jungles in Malaysia face similar threats from humans? Join us for a sneak peak at ’Rimba book’.
