Abstract (in English)

PART 1. ADOPTING A LANDSCAPE APPROACH - Strategies for Managing Multiple Values of Large Landscapes and Trans-Boundary Sites /// Two hundred years of settler society in Australia have modified an ancient landscape resulting in soil erosion, loss of forest and woodland cover and transformed grasslands. Landcare, a voluntary community group movement, began in the late 1980s to fix problems rising from land degradation (https://landcareaustralia.org.au/). By changing public attitudes about land, water, vegetation and biodiversity management on farms over three decades, Landcare has produced acceptance of constraints on resource use and transferred information and techniques to farmers, building capacity and social cohesion in the face of economic and technological global changes. With some government funding, local community involvement in planning and undertaking repair and replanting works has had great benefits for improving rural landscapes with fenced off watercourses, revegetating riparian corridors and new techniques for using the land. Implementation of Landcare illustrates the recently approved ICOMOS World Rural Principles in operation.
