Abstract
Tools for an integral sustainability assessment of four different land user groups have been developed in the Austrian model region “Vienna-Woods Biosphere Reserve”. Focusing on the cross-cutting issue of wildlife management, the step from sector-specific towards cross-sectoral integrated assessment of sustainable use has been taken for the first time. The assessment tools are also suitable for wider application if indicators are adapted to the specific regions.
Highlights
Tools for an integral sustainability assessment of four different land user groups have been developed in the Austrian model region “ViennaWoods Biosphere Reserve”
Wild animals and their habitats are exposed to multiple impacts caused by hunting and many other often overlapping and competing land-use activities within the wildlife habitat
Sustainable wildlife management requires that all land-user groups in the wildlife habitat are aware of and consider the effects of their activities on both wildlife resources and other user groups [1-3]
