description This text is a testimony; that of a university member, an ethnoecologist, wondering about the implications of the growing ecological emergency on his research practices. It is the account of a personal path marked by a call to do research with people and not only about them. It is also the expression of a will to explore different ways to know and act in the world in view to strengthen our ability to face the ecological crisis. Finally, it is the expression of a need for an epistemological break, which could lead to question knowledge processes and make this collaborative perspective possible. The answers I provide here are just as situated and unfinished as the ones developed by my research partners on the field. In this respect, they do not claim to affirm what ethnoecology should be; they merely illustrate the way in which I am trying today, with the available resources, to respond to this call for response-ability, emerging both from the field and from the classrooms where I teach.
