| Résumé : |
Sustainable development is one of the great hopes for the conservation of biodiversity. It is a complicated concept that has arisen to synthesize ideas that address environmental impacts and the needs of people. The idea of sustainability or long-term renewable use is old in terms of fisheries and wildlife harvest management. The purpose of this chapter is to review the concept of sustainable development and its relationship with biodiversity. The focus of the chapter is on the tropics where biodiversity is high and environmental impacts are increasing.
Biodiversity is needed to help maintain the global life-support system of humanity and as a direct source of products for the economy of humans. Thus a symbiotic relationship between sustainable development and biodiversity in the tropics must be designed.
The main value of the lessons described here may be to illustrate that at least some of the current problems of development in the tropics are not new. Although the tropics present unique problems , many ideas for sustainable development are being tested and history can provide more models, however there is an urgency for tropical sustainable development that is new.
Sustainable development presents multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary challenges and has led to hybrid approaches such as political ecology, conservation biology and ecological economics. Thus, biologists are learning how to market rain forest products and economists are learning the importance of species diversity in ecosystems. One hopes that there is time to learn these lessons before tropical biodiversity becomes seriously degraded.
