Spanish term or phrase: Aprovechamiento sostenido (here)

Aprovechamiento sostenido de las especies y de los ecosistemas.

I first thought "sustained use", but, I don't think this is the right meaning here. Could it be "sustained development of species" or something along these lines?

Many thanks

It's a fascinating topic--how to balance socioeconomic factors and the preservation of a "natural" environment (if that isn't an oxymoron today)...

sustainable use

Explanation:
The coined expression in English is "sustainable use", which is usually translated into Spanish as "aprovechamiento sostenible" as well as "uso sostenible". There is no distinction in this context between "uso" and "aprovechamiento".

2 possible translations for "sostenido", as well as a way to avoid "sustained", bearing in mind that the previous sentence ends with "sustainability"

Also, it seems likely that for "sustainable", the ST would have "sostenible"?
