Since the late 1990s, the Cambodian northeastern province of Ratanakiri is becoming more and more converted by agro-industrial development. Indigenous peoples, deprived of their land, are losing their local traditional knowledge and express concern for the cultural transformation which is underway. From this the notion of natural heritage associated with its cultural components arises. This can be explored as an innovative alternative aimed at "reviving" salient components of an ancestral legacy. From the example of a Tampuan village, I look into local reactions induced by a national TV team willing to show the persistence of such a heritage. Such a heritage legacy-introduced as a social, political and economic ingredient of a given natural environment-comes at a moment when the so-called community does not anymore constitute a united collective entity. Some villagers are in favor of maintaining ways of doing that have been inherited by elders. But this set of values and identities, supposed to be transmited to new generations, is far from unanimously accepted, speciically those which deal with modes of representations and practices suggested by external TV agents. his last point deserves scrutiny. Some elements of tradition receive too much emphasis while others are on the verge of extinction or fading away. The dynamic of this selection process incite us to explore mechanisms of renewal and selectivity about what, according to the Tampuan, has a meaning and deserves to be added, safeguarded, transmited or evacuated.
