This field investigation in Burundi sheds some new light on the acute and conflictual interaction between the man, his culture and the natural environment in which he has to perform some ecomonical activity for his living. In Burundi, these problems are inherent to the traditional lifestyle of the highly dense population settled all over the country and living on agriculture and cattle reering. Nation-wide erosion is at the end of the long and complex process of land destruction (slash and burn, bush fires, settlements, overgrazing...). Any solution to this situation with irreversible impacts on the ecosystem has to be hollistic in order to be sustainable. It has to consider and deal with all the components of the ecosystem (the man, his culture, the nature, the economy) at the same time in order to generate balanced and constructive interactions.
