Colombia tiene unas características ambientales y ecológicas propias del neotrópico, que la hacen específica y única; sin embargo, los modelos de desarrollo implementados van en contravía de estas características. El artículo muestra cómo las polí- ticas gubernamentales desconocen las características inherentes al desarrollo humano sustentable, lo cual genera graves problemas ambientales urbanos y rurales. En contraposición se establecen algunos lineamientos generales para estructurar una propuesta de desarrollo basado en las características ecológicas colombianas. ; Colombia has some environmental and ecological characteristics specific for the neotropic, whichmake it specific and unique.
