The Protected Landscape Approach: Linking Nature, Culture and Community or even to the UK – it is particularly acute when it occurs in landscapes that are supposed to be nationally protected. But without external support, traditional farming cannot survive and its wider benefits to society will be lost. Various programmes, often supported through European Union (EU) funding, have been developed to support traditional land management that is compatible with the protection of wildlife, landscape and heritage, and encourages public access. Increasingly, too, farming in such areas aims to secure added value to products through an emphasis on quality, marketing and branding. Similar innovations occur in the forestry sector. Thus the planting of extensive coniferous monoculture is a thing of the past: the trend is towards support for traditional woodland practices, restoring and expanding native woodlands. Though these changes have been led by government or EU-funded agricultural and forestry programmes, the agencies responsible for the management of the Protected Landscapes have also been closely involved. Conclusions The UK’s Category V protected areas represent a cross-section of the country’s finest land - scapes, but include, too, a cross-section of rural society. The diversity of approaches around the UK shows how adaptive the Category V approach can be in dealing with conservation aims, but also with social and economic ones – and doing so whilst also securing resources and commitment for the management of many of the UK’s most important natural and cultural heritage areas. But these areas do not stand apart and must be linked to the rest of society. So, while the historic purposes of landscape protection, recreation and access remain as relevant now as 50 years ago, the UK is especially keen to share its experience as it tries to re-design Category V protected areas to be: models of sustainable development, integrating economic, social and environmental aims, and contributing to global environmental protection; exemplars of sustainable land use practices, showing how alternative economic activity can also sustain the areas’ viability and vitality; and relevant to society as a whole – thereby bringing wider social inclusive benefits.

10. Sustaining rural landscapes and building civil society: experience from Central Europe Miroslav Kundrata and Blažena Hušková Cultural landscapes can be preserved only if the local public is involved, and if the imple - mented tools work for the economic benefit of local communities. Introduction The year 2004 marks the 15th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain. During the past decade-and a-half the societies in Central and Eastern Europe have experienced for themselves how exciting and also how difficult it is to shape their own destinies. They have witnessed the many facets, paradoxes and challenges surrounding the rebirth of democracy in the region. The environment was one of the leading factors driving the political changes of 1989. Looking back, there is little question that giving people a chance to play a direct role in democracybuilding and market reforms was of critical importance in Central Europe. During this period, the emerging NGO sector started to play an important role in shaping new societies, including nature conservation policies. Map 1.
