Nature conservation accounting for large-scale livestock Grazing

Abstract

Globally, nature conservation over the last 50 years has largely been characterized by segregated, preserving strategies (Plachter 1995). This was by no means always the case, at least for European nature conservation. A holistic approach related to landscape was one of the roots of nature conservation in the first place, as is expressed even now in the dual term 'nature conservation and landscape stewardship'. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
