Resumo: Most rural development projects include ecological considerations, and most conservation projects include some reference to sustainable development. However, conservation projects frequently fail because they do not incorporate local communities' perceptions and needs. Many development projects are also unsuccessful because they are not based on adequate ecological assessment. We focus here on the most important ecological issues to be addressed in order to place development projects in an ecosystem context. Such projects should incorporate updated and precise ecological concepts and methods. Some key ecological issues in development projects are the relationships between ecosystem functions, services, and sustainability, the concept of loose connectivity, the distinct and complementary concepts of ecosystem resistance and resilience, and the links between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. We claim that an ecologically sound development project maximizes the preservation and improvement of ecosystem services, especially for local communities. We pose a series of questions aimed at placing rural development projects in an ecosystem context and suggest ways of organizing this information.

Una causa de fracaso frecuente de los proyectos de desarrollo es la falta de una evaluación ecológica adecuada. En este trabajo abordamos los aspectos ecológicos más importantes a considerar en proyectos de desarrollo rural. Resulta necesario incorporar métodos y conceptos ecológicos actualizados y precisos. Conceptos ecológicos útiles en la evaluación ecológica de proyectos de desarrollo rural son los vinculados a la relación entre funciones ecosistémicas, servicios ecosistémicos y sustentabilidad, la conectividad laxa, la resistencia y la resiliencia ecosistémicas, y los efectos de la diversidad sobre las funciones y los servicios ecosistémicos. Sugerimos una serie de preguntas que deberían ser contestadas a fin de situar los proyectos de desarrollo en un contexto ecológico y mencionamos algunos instrumentos para la organización y la sistematización de la información recogida.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2001-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1639Reports in Public Health; Vol. 17 No. 7 (2001): Supplement 1Cadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 17 n. 7 (2001): Suplemento 11678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1639/3266https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1639/3267Díaz, SandraCáceres, Daniel M.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:26:33Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/1639Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:55.665612Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
