Human well-being and the prerequisite sustainable environmental management are currently at stake, reaching a bottleneck when trying to cope with (i) the ever-growing world population, (ii) the constantly increasing need for natural resources (and the subsequent overexploitation of species, habitats, ecosystems, and landscapes) and (iii) the documented and on-going impacts of climate change. In developed societies, the concern about environmental protection is set high in the public dialogue, as well as to management and policy agendas. The recently constituted Intergovernmental Science—Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) urges transformative changes for technological, economic, and social factors aiming to tackle both direct and indirect drivers of biodiversity loss. By this, the role of conservation and management practices for the environment is characterized as a crucial and top issue and should deal with (a) promoting best practices from the local to the global level, (b) identifying spatial and temporal knowledge gaps, (c) multidisciplinary aspects for sustainable management practices, (d) identifying and interpreting the role of stakeholders and socio-economic parameters in the decision-making process, and (e) methods and practices to integrate the concept of ecosystem services into natural capital assessment and accounting, conservation and management strategies. Modern literature highlights that land-use change and prioritization, restoration of natural areas, cultural landscape identification and maintenance, should be considered to the top of the scientific and policy agenda, as well as to the epicenter of novel awareness-raising strategies for the environment in the near future.

物种，栖息地，生态系统和景观的保护和管理：当前趋势和全球需求

当前，人类福祉和可持续的环境管理必不可少，在应对（i）不断增长的世界人口，（ii）对自然资源的不断增长的需求（以及随后对物种的过度开发）时，这已成为瓶颈。 ，栖息地，生态系统和景观），以及（iii）已记录和持续的气候变化影响。在发达社会中，公众对话以及管理和政策议程都高度关注环境保护。最近成立的政府间生物多样性和生态系统服务科学政策平台（IPBES）敦促对技术，经济和社会因素进行变革，以应对直接和间接造成生物多样性丧失的因素。这样，保护和管理实践对环境的作用是一个至关重要的首要问题，应处理（a）从本地到全球推广最佳实践，（b）识别时空知识差距，（c）多学科（d）确定和解释利益相关者和社会经济参数在决策过程中的作用，以及（e）将生态系统服务概念纳入自然资本评估和核算，养护的方法和做法和管理策略。现代文献强调，应将土地用途的变化和优先次序，自然区域的恢复，文化景观的识别和维护视为科学和政策议程的首要问题，
