The concept of sustainable development brings together two lines of thought on the management of human activities: one focused on development goals and the other in controlling the harmful impacts of human activities on natural resources. "Sustainable development is assumed that meets the needs of the present population without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

To understand this concept a little more development, it is necessary to refer to the relationship, "Nature - Society" where the company guarantees its existence and development only by his constant interaction with nature, in this sense, a society, not only consists of categories or determinations of being social, but which is hinged in the categories of nature, without which not give environmental development processes, understanding environmental dimension involves the social, economic and ecological.

However such processes have been stalled due to lack of active participation by the state that lacks conservation policies and incentives which foster the appropriate use of natural resources, while this has contributed communities to lose inert on the current environmental problems, reflected in the deterioration of the quality of "living" of populations and ecosystem degradation.

Some of the factors which affect the socio-economic and ecological, have been mainly the expansion of the agricultural frontier on areas of "absolute protection" is the main coverage of natural forests and wilderness zone primary strategic ecosystems for maintenance of biodiversity and home to major networks births not only supply water to human communities living in its surroundings, but also for soil irrigation agricultural. "Water is life and is, therefore, a natural resource whose management and conservation is a priority throughout the world"

Generally the establishment of agricultural production systems are developed under poor management and require deforestation practices and fires, destroying large primary forests with native species, which play a fundamental role in preserving the quality and quantity of water, unaware of the implications that these situations are causing to the ecosystem, particularly water resources and Resource soil loses its structure, this coupled with the steep slopes and the effect of gravity generates instability of slopes, resulting in runoff processes and mass movements, giving rise to become uncontrollable flows during rainy seasons.

Likewise, the vulnerability of the shores of rivers becomes a pollutant and risk of the same, due to sediment transport, which significantly reduces water quality affecting human health and damaging one of the main media production processes. This will alter the local economy directly.

addition, these ecosystems are an invaluable cultural heritage with historic and traditional values, which must be taken into account in the management of the countryside becoming a great potential for recreation and ecotourism.

Therefore, if we continue to take advantage, we must conserve and use must not exceed the limits of the critical threshold beyond which deterioration becomes irreversible, raising the need to address this new paradigm of sustainable development, whose centrality is given in the population, which happens to be further developed to take the character of a social subject. It is also important that spaces are established jointly to strengthen self-management processes, seeking effective responses to social, economic and ecological from environmental education activities, community participation and organization, which aims for the management, conservation, restoration, protection and rational utilization of ecosystems of high biological value, fragile or strategic development in order to maintain their environmental supply.

"You can not conceive of development without thinking about the environment and hence sustainable development is inconceivable without considering the quality and welfare of mankind."

In the case of natural and strategic area White Straw wasteland located in the area your Colombia Nariño Department, of which approximately 50,000 people are favored, it is important to consider the issue not only from an environmental standpoint but also from the point of view of social problems for communities living in the region, the solutions must not be taken from positions romantic, extreme or drastic. Today is no real claim that natural resources are untouchable, but can not be completely right for the communities that are progressively reduced natural area.

strong environmental education processes, training for the development of productive projects for minimum environmental impact and good economic choices, and social investment incentives can be effective solution to completely change the picture that communities would be transformed into communities predator protection.
