註釋This report presents a broad analysis of the Amazon region within the framework of Ecuador's national economic development. This approach is based on the observation that isolated policy analyses that focus narrowly on a region of concern generally result in policies that are 1) wrong from a national development perspective and or 2) ignored, unless the region in question has decisive political influence. The Amazon region presents some very special characteristics, some of which may be considered constraints, others unique opportunities. The foremost characteristic that conditions the range of options for this region is the extreme fragility of the region's natural resources. It also offers unique biological diversity. This potential may remain unknown and lost forever if the tropical rainforest is permanently destroyed through inappropriate land use. The report will aslo examine the area's development issues and policy options.
