The fundamental aim of this research is to establish an analysis with regard to non-sustainable economic models
to the environment, also known as Business as Usual, and as an alternative proposal sustainable ecosystem
model called Sustainable Ecosystem Management, which has a target to reverse this unsustainability of logic in
the Brazilian Amazon. The main conclusion is that the growth trend of the pharmaceutical industry demand for
products derived from the medicinal plant agriculture may constitute a window of opportunity for interesting
application of sustainable development, especially for the countries possessing broad biodiversity - like Brazil -
which features unique ability to develop biotechnological innovations, from the application of the ecosystem
sustainability model. CARVALHO, A. C.; FILGUEIRAS, G. C.; ARAÚJO, A. C. S. Universidade Federal do Pará
