Through six chapters, this thesis calls to learn the work situation of a NGO's practitioners whose aim is to care for the world's most representative mountain ecosystem and to appreciate the local population's way of life. Following the renowned International Summits Institution from Huaraz (Peru) to Franklin (West Virginia), this ethnographic study attempts to shed light on the action and organization of an American NGO which interacts with other collective organization managing and exploiting renewable and non-renewable resources in a land located on the Ancash region (Peru) and called by both Peru and the UNESCO a “Natural Heritage of Humanity”. This thesis will describe the organizational routine and assess the implemented interventions' impact. It will also, through the collective institution's agents, try to determinate the status and role of the individual in building a network that ease the financing and success of a project. While social science tend to fault the lack of approaches and NGO-used mechanisms, this thesis opts for analyzing the relationship that bring together conceptual approaches, organizational control device and the International Summit Institution staff's individual logics.
