Switzerland is still considered one of the most beautiful countries in the world. However, concerns for the protection of nature and landscapes are often not given enough weight when balancing conflicting interests. In his book, Hans Weiss argues that the future development of the country should be envisioned not from the perspective of urbanization, but from that of the landscape. His text is a call to save the landscape, which, once destroyed, is lost forever. The landscape is as vital for our health and mental well-being as air, water, and healthy food are for the body. We need the landscape—but it also needs us, because without careful planning, diligent maintenance, and thoughtful design, it will repeatedly fall victim to short-sighted profit motives or simply to thoughtlessness. In the first part of the book, the author guides us through the history of landscape protection in the post-war decades, marked by both successes and setbacks—using Switzerland as an example. He examines the material and spiritual causes of landscape destruction. The second part is dedicated to describing cases where the rescue of the landscape has been successful. It highlights the circumstances and factors that contributed to these successes. In this way, the book aims to inspire younger generations, as the best remedy against resignation and powerlessness is enthusiasm for the landscape and the assurance that we can contribute to its salvation.
