Abstract

The unprecedented post-industrial development has ended up in disturbing the bio-climaticcycles of the planet’s ecosystem. The excessive exploitation of the nature and the increase of the wastevolume exhaust the ecosystems more quickly than their capacity of renewal. While the urban ecosystems(parks, green areas, running waters) ensure important services to the population (recreation, air quality),the rural ecosystems are the ones to ensure the goods and services that are necessary to everyday life. Theincapacity for turning the ecosystems’ potential into revenues dissimulate a dysfunction at the governinglevel. The challenge consists in modifying this equation, facilitating a high access of poor to the localpotential of the ecosystems and their capability of transforming, by sustainable models the natureproductivity into incomes.
