- Contents in English : The loss of biological diversity is a major environmental problem occurring on a global scale. Human-environment researchers have an important role in shaping policy and programs at a local, national, and international level. This article explores human preference for landscape relative to ecological quality and assesses the relationship between these preferences and land management behaviour. This study indicated that preference for landscapes of relatively high ecological quality is associated with behaviour that is protective of this resource.
