• Resumen

  • The incorporation of preservation goals in development plans is becoming a must do activity in most, if not all, countries. This is the result of the increasing recognition that without preservation initiatives the earth¿s environment will degrade beyond repair. However, while it is agreed that preservation goals cannot succeed unless paired with poverty goals, current preservation initiatives are de-linked from the long-term poverty processes around them. Hence, the need to identify ways of promoting both poverty reduction and preservation goals at the same time is a pressing one. The main goal of this paper is to highlight one possible way to reconcile long-term preservation goals with long-term poverty reduction goals.
