The declaration "Landscape Austria 2020+" presents several hypotheses on the development of the native landscape. Scenarios for sustainable solutions are to be evaluated through involvement on a broader scale. The Austrian landscape has an inestimable value for our country. Landscapes are habitats for people and animals, they offer support for eco-systems with a rich diversity of species and - an aspect that is often overlooked - they provide the basis for many economic sectors. In this regard one thinks of agriculture and forestry, tourism, infrastructure services, the extraction of raw materials or alternative energy production. For the successful functioning of our landscape-based businesses these spaces must be kept healthy and intact. Exploitation of these resources hinders the sustainable development of the economy.
