  8. Summary: Ecological Dimensions of Poverty • Ecological science and tools have traditionally not contributed substantially to poverty reduction efforts • Ecological knowledge, theory, and tools have enormous, under-used potential for contributing to achieving multiple development goals • Ecology can highlight the tradeoffs and unintended consequences that may happen as a result of siloed development decisions

  9. Summary: Applications of Ecology in Development Solutions • Ecologists and the science they conduct have to be viewed as objective • Ecologists must understand the prevailing social, economic, and political contexts in which they are working • Ecological research has to be conducted at the scale of the development problem and decision making, acknowledging that human-environment interactions may change across scales
