Abstract
Wilderness protection was for long the driving force behind protected areas. However, the concept of wilderness can be misleading, and many humanized areas (i.e. landscapes) are also rich in natural and cultural values. Though a concern with landscapes has tended to be associated with Europe, it is of broader relevance. This is apparent in: the IUCN Protected Area Management Category V - Protected Landscape/Seascape, (there are >2,200 such sites around the world); Cultural Landscapes under the World Heritage Convention; the European Strategy for Landscape and Biological Diversity; and the proposed European landscapes convention. There is a need for research in landscape typology, landscape evaluation and landscape management; the last has to address the key question of how to manage landscape when it is the product of human use.
