Résumé

The conservation of natural resources was long considered the ultimate objective of rural development. But with the passage of time and the development of new approaches, it has become the basis of a form of sustainable rural development that depends above all on economic development and institutional change. This new perspective on approaches and policies in the field of rural development is based on the assumption that human development, growth and sustainable development are fully compatible. There is growing recognition that sustainable management of natural resources can form the basis of community development, provided the population participates in natural resource management and the development process takes account of economic, environmental, social, political and institutional factors.

The case of the Ouled H'lel Community in the Delegation of Aïn Draham, Governorate of Jendouba, shows how the population has operated as a partner in the management of natural resources and the development of its territory through its membership of representative bodies - the informal Development Committee and the Agricultural Development Group (GDA) - and how its participation has helped reconcile conservation of resources with sustainable development.
