Landscape Conservation

Landscape conservation is a holistic approach to preserving natural environments by focusing on entire ecosystems rather than individual species or sites. Historically, this concept emerged in response to industrialization and urbanization that threatened landscapes and biodiversity. It involves integrating ecological, cultural, and historical factors to maintain the health of landscapes, ensuring they can sustain wildlife and provide services like clean air and water for communities. The goal is to balance human needs with the preservation of natural heritage, fostering resilience against environmental changes while enhancing the beauty and integrity of our surroundings.
