A developed world conservation paradigm

Anthropogenic environments have retained much of the habitats of developing nations after the destruction and transformation of natural habitats in recent decades. Though several species (often filtering predators, large herbivores, old growth-dependent, and some open habitat species) have been wiped out by the current landscape change, the remaining tariffs have been able to benefit from these ecosystems and the resultant low impact methods due to the absence of their natural habitat. As a result, a dominant paradigm of European nature conservation has been the reintroduction or replication of low-impact approaches to preserve the conservation status of semi-natural ecosystems. Traditional woodland, heath, anthropogenic grassland, shrub, and pseudo-steppe ecosystem conservation are widespread and included in regulations such as the European Habitats Directive. Agriculture in Europe has been a basic subject of the paradigm of semi-natural ecosystems. Many complementary species benefit from heterogeneous agricultural mosaics, while other taxa demand extensively cultivated environments with lower structural complexity. Low-impact green agriculture has been encouraged by legislation such as the European Common Agricultural Policy to address the dual challenge of industrial agriculture. (Friedrich, 2016).
