This article is a history of the field station Lamto, in Ivory Coast, which was created by French ecologists in 1962, after independence. It retraces the origins, the logics and the contradictions of an extraordinarily ambitious scientific project, which aimed at the systematic, holistic, quantitative and multi-disciplinary description of a unit of African nature - the savannah ecosystem. It explores how knowledge-making was articulated with work hierarchies and postcolonial politics, lifestyles, values and affects. It reconstitutes the political ecology of a research station in ecology, following in its residences, laboratories and open-air experiments the co-production of domesticity, nature, science and (post-)colonial situations.
本文讲述了位于科特迪瓦的拉姆托野外研究站的历史，该研究站由法国生态学家于1962年在该国独立后创建。它追溯了一个雄心勃勃的科学项目的起源、逻辑和矛盾之处，该项目旨在对非洲自然的一个单元——稀树草原生态系统进行系统、全面、定量和多学科的描述。它探讨了知识创造是如何与工作等级制度、后殖民政治、生活方式、价值观和情感联系在一起的。它通过研究该研究站的住所、实验室和户外实验，重新构建了一个生态研究站的政治生态学，展现了家庭生活、自然、科学和（后）殖民状况的共同产生过程。
