“…Recently, a vision on a natural future for the Netherlands in 2120 appeared, showing how the Netherlands would look like when taking the landscape as a guiding principle for adaptation to climate change in a biodiverse and circular environment. Stakeholders and authorities of all sorts found this very interesting and mind-shifting, giving way to further, out of the box discussions on the issues that are ahead [18,63].…”

In a context of a rapidly changing livability of towns and countryside, climate change and biodiversity decrease, this paper introduces a landscape-based planning approach to regional spatial policy challenges allowing a regime shift towards a future land system resilient to external pressures. The concept of nature-based solutions and transition theory are combined in this approach, in which co-created normative future visions serve as boundary concepts. Rather than as an object in itself, the landscape is considered as a comprehensive principle, to which all spatial processes are inherently related. We illustrate this approach with three projects in the Netherlands in which landscape-based visions were used to guide the land transition, going beyond the traditional nature-based solutions. The projects studied show that a shared long-term future landscape vision is a powerful boundary concept and a crucial source of inspiration for a coherent design approach to solve today’s spatial planning problems. Further, they show that cherishing abiotic differences in the landscape enhances sustainable and resilient landscapes, that co-creation in the social network is a prerequisite for shared solutions, and that a landscape-based approach enhances future-proof land-use transitions to adaptive, circular, and biodiverse landscapes.

“…The map of the Netherlands in 2020 (insert) and the vision for the future in the Netherlands in 2120 (Baptist et al 2019), with some additional corridors added by H. Jansman, illustrating better connection between cores of nature areas: Oostvaardersplassen (OVP), Veluwe (VL) and Utrechtse Heuvelrug (UH) human interest due to the absence of public infrastructure and agricultural lands in the area. Natural processes were the main driver of the ecosystem.…”

Biodiversity on Earth is rapidly decreasing and the situation in the Netherlands is in that perspective a textbook example. The main causes for species extinction are habitat loss, landscape degradation and overuse. Conservation efforts should focus more on the level of viable ecosystems. A strategic plan to do so is called Cores, Corridors and Carnivores (rewilding’s three C’s). This requires strong Cores of nature, mutually connected via robust Corridors. Based on island biogeography theory it can be calculated that if we want to conserve roughly 85% of the current biodiversity, 50% of the Earth’s surface needs to be protected, ‘Nature needs half’. For healthy ecosystems we need to get top-down forcing by apex consumers back in ecosystems. These apex consumers are mainly large Carnivores, and bringing them back asks for coexistence. If we want to keep our living conditions on planet Earth healthy we have to change our unsustainable way of living and change our way of thinking with respect to nature, natural processes and our relation with other species. The loss of biodiversity can only be halted or reversed if we save more space for nature and natural processes including top-down forcing and last but not least, find a way of coexistence with our fellow creatures.

“…Wolven kunnen in deze situatie een enigszins regulerende invloed hebben op de populatiegrootte en het gedrag van hoefdieren, maar dit vereist wel veel meer ruimte voor de natuur en natuurlijke processen dan nu mogelijk is en/of wordt toegelaten. De kaart met een visie op een meer natuurlijk Nederland in 2120 (Baptist et al, 2019)…”
