Propostas para o desenvolvimento sustentável local que privilegiam a conservação ambiental e a inserção social

Abstract

The central theme of this paper is to show the integration between social economic development and natural resources conservation. Assuming that the environment degradation created by the conventional economic growth affects the population quality of life when imposing environment transformations that reflect directly in the well-being of the poorest level of population. In this way, there is a presentation of activities suitable to regional specificity such as the recycling of solid residues and the sustainable extraction of forest resources. Both activities contemplate income generation as well as the absorption of the excluded population from the labor market. The first, presents a solution for urban centers, while the latter for the forest areas.
