Abstract

The concept of sustainable development has been approached from different disciplines. However, environmental crisis is still going on as well as damage to our vital ecosystems. Those problems seem to be increased by technological confidence and dependence. This article analyzes the origins of the concept of sustainable development, and hypothesizes on how, by means of educational strategies and environmental aesthetics, we could transform the way we interact with territory, considering human beings as a result of different natural life expressions amongst many possible ones. In addition, the paper criticizes the extractive model of production, which has ruled mankind behaviour, specially since the Industrial Revolution in european modern period. From a Latin-American environmental point of view, this perspective establishes the need for a cultural change and a reconciliation with nature.
