Summary:In the forest of Chiapas a landscape is being built, wich paradoxically emphasizes the tropical wilderness as a touristic product for the new market developped by the mexican government and NGOs. Landscaping is therfore more focused on the enhancement of an illusory wild forest than on the environmental integrity of a threatened ecosystem ; and show up central concepts of scientific ecology.
