Abstract
Progress in the modern economy generally equates to socio-economic development with rural depopulation and urban growth, to technological provision of needs, and a separation of people from nature. This process is an on-going part of human cultural evolution, but it has major environmental consequences. In terms of the severance of people and landscape there has been a rapid de-coupling of communities from their local environment.
