| Summary: | This article aims to present some problems of researches on the construction of a mechanism of social valorisation of the environmental protection: ecological public order. This study leans on a recent and original experience in southern Africa: the creation of Peace Park like the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP). These parks are officially dedicated to the protection and to the preservation of biological diversity, natural and cultural resources which are associated with it, as well as in the promotion of the cooperation and the peace. The peace looked for in these parks is not only the opposite of the war but it is also social, economic and cultural peace. The logic of construction of these parks is based on the idea that the articulation of conservation areas facilitates the resolution of territorial conflicts – of all kinds – by transforming the environmental concerns into object of cooperation between several political jurisdictions. It is the plan of the ecological public order concept. Thus, we wonder if the GLTP, in particular, (can) establish a concrete illustration of this mechanism and if it (can) lead to Peace, facilitating in this way any process of development.
