| Résumé: |
In 2020, Zurich Zoo opened the "Lewa Savannah" exhibition, which reproduces the ecosystem of the Lewa Conservancy in Kenya and offers a window into the culture of local communities. This research work consists of a comparative analysis between what is said and represented in the zoo and what is observed in Kenya. What perspective does it adopt on the communities and why? What impact do these representations have on visitor's imaginations? What is the perception of the communities in Kenya bout the Lewa Conservancy? To answer these questions, the first part of this work takes place at the Zurich Zoo and the second stage is in Kenya, in the Lewa region. The objective of this work is to juxtapose the two different ways of making sense of the same conservation project: the Lewa Conservancy. What are the similarities and the difference in discourses between two geographically distant places that are talking about the same project?
