✦ Synopsis

As the emphasis of conservation has shifted from protecting species to include entire ecological systems or 'functional landscapes', the need for closer linkages between conservation and landscape ecology has become obvious. Several emerging principles of landscape ecology can inform conservation decisions about which places to protect, how to implement that protection, how to manage or restore the places once they are protected and how to balance human activities with the protection of biodiversity. Doing this, however, requires closing the gap that exists between these disciplines by establishing shared goals, addressing inconsistencies of scale and changing institutional cultures to reconcile the desire of academics for 'more research' with the 'just do it' attitude of conservationists.
