Abstract
La restauración ecológica se percibe por muchos conservacionistas, y por la mayoría de los economistas, como una diversión, una ilusión, y mucho peor, como una pérdida de tiempo y dinero. En este trabajo se señala que la restauración, de hecho, complementa no sólo a la conservación de la naturaleza sino que también es útil para lograr un desarrollo socio-económicamente sostenible y equitativo. Esto se debe a que restaurar y aumentar la base del capital natural es la mejor vía para generar puestos de trabajo, y mejorar los medios de supervivencia y de calidad de vida para todos, lo mismo que para la economía.
