Summary
The relationship between nature conservation, the use of natural resources and poverty alleviation is the subject of many discussions. This relation is often little understood or overlooked by parties focusing on only one of these three issues. Sustained economic development is only possible when the ecological foundation, on which human society has been built, is respected. Understanding the relationship between the conservation and management of natural resources and poverty will considerably accelerate the pace towards sustainable development. This event was organised by the 'natureandpoverty' alliance to bring together a considerable pool of experience and expertise to reflect jointly on these dynamics of this complex issue. Representatives from conservation organisations, development experts, the private sector and governmental agencies from over sixty countries around the world shared experiences through presentations and in panel discussions.
