In this chapter I will point out currently prevailing trends in Mediterranean landscapes in the context of our global environmental crisis. This will lead to a discussion of the close interrelations between biological diversity, ecological heterogeneity, and cultural diver- sity, or in one word, total landscape ecodiversity in the Mediterranean Basin, and to recent advances in landscape ecology in the evaluation of this issue. I will conclude by offering some new approaches and tools for holistic ecodiversity conservation as an integral part of the urgently needed environmental revolution</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
