Abstract
Local knowledge appropriation mechanisms are operationalized in Benin for the prevention and repair of damage caused to the environment every day. Social logics underlie these strategies of appropriation. This qualitative research has analyzed the strategies of appropriation of local knowledge on the prevention and repair of environmental damage Benin to 90 surveyed through sampling technique reasoned choice. It should be noted that the perception and practices of actors in relation to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage are lining up with social norms. Therefore, strategies to prevent and repair are based on local knowledge. Despite the advantages of these standards, they have many limitations. The participatory system of nature protection of this view needs to be strengthened.

Abstract: (french)
Des mécanismes d’appropriation du savoir local sont opérationnalisés au Bénin en vue de la prévention et de la réparation du dommage quotidiennement causé à l’environnement. Des logiques sociales sous tendent ces stratégies d’appropriation. Cette recherche de nature qualitative a permis d’analyser les stratégies d’appropriation des savoirs locaux relatifs à la prévention et la réparation du dommage environnemental Bénin auprès de 90 enquêtés à travers la technique d’échantillonnage à choix raisonné. Il est à noter que la perception et les pratiques des acteurs par rapport à la prévention et la réparation du dommage environnemental s’arriment avec les normes sociales. C’est pourquoi, les stratégies de prévention et de réparation se fondent sur les savoirs locaux. Malgré les atouts de ces normes, elles comportent bien des limites. Le dispositif participatif de protection de la nature de ce point de vue mérite d’être renforcé.
Author Keywords: Dommage environnemental, stratégies, savoir local, Bénin.
