The sociology of the environment is a discipline that studies the interactions between society and the environment. She is interested in the effects that the environment has on societies, and conversely, those of societies on their natural and physical environment. As such, it finds its meaning in the analysis of ethnoecological issues, especially in an African context where culture and environment intertwine. This study looks at the different forms of identity related to the African woman and the question of the environment, especially the Nere. In fact, this article proposes to understand the socioconstruction of Senoufo women around Néré by having a look at social identity and ecological logic. Thus, we are part of the new ecological paradigm developed by Riley Dunlap. To achieve this objective, individual and group interviews of semi-directive type as well as the field observation were carried out according to the techniques of sampling by reasoned choice and by snowball. Thus, it appears that interest in the Nere results from cultural considerations that every woman wants to perpetuate. The ecological logic of the actors of Néré is protective and conservative.

Abstract
The sociology of the environment is a discipline that studies the interactions between society and the environment. She is interested in the effects that the environment has on societies, and conversely, those of societies on their natural and physical environment. As such, it finds its meaning in the analysis of ethnoecological issues, especially in an African context where culture and environment intertwine. This study looks at the different forms of identity related to the African woman and the question of the environment, especially the Nere. In fact, this article proposes to understand the socioconstruction of Senoufo women around Néré by having a look at social identity and ecological logic. Thus, we are part of the new ecological paradigm developed by Riley Dunlap. To achieve this objective, individual and group interviews of semi-directive type as well as the field observation were carried out according to the techniques of sampling by reasoned choice and by snowball. Thus, it appears that interest in the Nere results from cultural considerations that every woman wants to perpetuate. The ecological logic of the actors of Néré is protective and conservative.

Abstract: (french)
La sociologie de l’environnement est une discipline qui étudie les interactions entre la société et l’environnement. Elle s’intéresse aux effets que l’environnement exerce sur les sociétés, et inversement, ceux des sociétés sur leur environnement naturel et physique. En tant que telle, elle trouve son sens dans l’analyse des questions ethnoécologiques surtout dans un contexte africain où culture et environnement s’imbriquent. Cette étude porte un regard sur les différentes formes d’identité liées à la femme africaine et à la question de l’environnement, en particulier le Néré. De fait, cet article se propose d’étudier et de comprendre la socioconstruction des femmes Sénoufo autour du Néré en ayant un regard sur les rapports identité sociale et logique écologique. Ainsi, nous nous inscrivons dans le Nouveau Paradigme Ecologique développé par Riley Dunlap. Pour atteindre cet objectif, des entretiens individuels et de groupe de type semi-directifs ainsi que l’observation sur le terrain ont été réalisé suivant les techniques d’échantillonnage par choix raisonné et par boule de neige. Ainsi, il ressort que l’intérêt pour le Néré résulte des considérations culturelles que chaque femme veut perpétuer. La logique écologique des acteurs du Néré est protectrice et conservatrice.
