Summary/Abstract: The paper is an outline of the view of the heterogeneous form and the transformation of the relations between humans (human population) and the environment. It offers a brief assessment of the historical peripetia of the settlement of the South Moravian landscape (including the interesting geopolitical aspect – the situation after World War I), the use of natural resources and the overall anthropogenic transformation of the original landscape (agriculture, forestry, ponds, etc.). It also includes incentives for the promotion of environmental awareness and education. Using specific examples from the region it illustrates the topics of active nature and landscape conservation (MAB programme, biosphere reserve, Natura 2000 programme, the importance of non-profit organizations). These specific references to remarkable sites (natural and technical monuments, etc.) can become a source of inspiration for excursion education, combining both science and social science topics.
