Abstract
The protected goods of classical wildlife conservation are populations of animal and plant species, their guilds and habitats, the pattern of selected landscapes, limited abiotic resources, and landscape functions. Some of the difficulties considering all these aspects in landscape planning are discussed, and a gap between knowledge transfer and practical application concerning functional correlations in, and between ecosystems is pointed out. Involving ecological orientors in the description and modeling of ecosystem functions may be a promising way for future approaches in landscape evaluation, management and monitoring, but the empirical base must be tested and expanded. For a more satisfactory acceptance of landscape management, planners have to consider the economic background. However, there is no real market value for the benefits of sustainable land use at date.
