• Resumen

  • The discussion about the biodiversity conservation and human wellbeing is currently intense and, quite often, revenue coming from tourism had been assumed enough to marry together the development of local communities with the protection of natural capital. However, the debate is far from been solved. This research is based in three key features aimed to capture the complexity of the phenomena: data is taken in three different periods, focus is on relationship between biodiversity protection and poverty alleviation and, finally a context sensitive approach was adopted. Results shows that i) improvement in wellbeing has not to do with endogenous development, ii) the impact of the park in poverty alleviation is negligible and iii) tourism is not a solution per se
