Résumé en anglais
In Australia today, many protected areas are beingactively created as solely 'natural' landscapes. Peoples’ social
and spiritual attachments to these landscapes are not beingadequately recognised or effectively integrated into management
planning and practice. A failure to incorporate social andspiritual values into protected area management is a threat to
peoples’ continued attachment and belonging to special places.The paper examines the way in which the discourse of ecosystem
management can ‘displace’ culture and heritage from manyprotected areas. It is argued that environmental history and
cultural landscape approaches offer ways of addressing the needto integrate understandings of attachment, identity and place,
central to the concept of ‘spirit of place’, into protected area
management.
