    Nature conservation movements during the 20th century and their relations to various ecological research approaches are outlined. The background to the research programme 'Remnant habitats in production landscapes' is presented and study areas and their history are described. This research program was directed towards effects of various disturbances, including forest management and areal restrictions, on natural communities and species populations and this approach is well compatible with an emerging emphasis on conservation of ecosystems rather than of species. The future of such a new research paradigm in conservation biology is assessed and possible new research directions are discussed.
