Ecuador - National Biodiversity Strategy 2015-2030

The vision of development to 2030, agreed upon in the framework of the SNDPP, involves the implementation of successive stages of government and steps that society as a whole must take to materialize a new mode of accumulation, distribution and redistribution of wealth. In this scenario of change, biodiversity is the spearhead for achieving the higher objectives of transforming the productive matrix and eradicating poverty. However, moving from a primary-extractivist development model dependent on the export of raw materials to an economy that generates high added value based on principles of sustainability requires taking responsible advantage of the State's strategic natural resources.
