This article deals with the construction of an interdisciplinary research program about interrelationship between outdoor activities and wildlife in the Bauges mountains (Alpes). This research program is build on a twofold partnership : a partnership between researchers and local stakeholders, and a partnership between researchers coming from different disciplines, social sciences and ecology. The article emphasizes pros and cons of the research project co-construction. It presents the exchange views between the different collaborators on three main subjects : i) the research protocol which coordinates research on the field and included elements useful for stakeholders decision making ; ii) methodologies which crossed different qualitative, quantitative and spatial datas (GPS) ; iii) concepts used in the research such as the “landscape” concept. The reflective analysis allows identifying some elements favorable for an interdisciplinary research proceeding bringing together different collaborators.
