Resumen

El Código Ambiental de las Islas de la Lealtad intenta fusionar visiones francesas y kanak sobre la naturaleza. Mientras que el naturalismo occidental separa humanos y no humanos, el animismo kanak ve continuidad entre ellos. El artículo 110-3 otorga personalidad jurídica a elementos naturales, reflejando esta mezcla ontológica. Sin embargo, el Consejo de Estado anuló disposiciones clave, señalando una invasión del derecho civil. Esta oposición revela el conflicto entre dos concepciones del mundo y los límites del derecho ambiental francés para integrar otras ontologías. El método utilizado para llevar a cabo este estudio es combinatorio, combinando el método clásico de investigación en derecho francés y una encuesta. El objetivo es extraer la esencia de cada visión cuestionando a los custodios de cada una.
