Yes, landscape protection should be guided by cultural values, as cultural landscapes represent the combined works of nature and humanity, embodying historical, aesthetic, and social significance. UNESCO recognizes cultural landscapes as World Heritage sites precisely for their cultural outstanding universal value, while also enhancing biodiversity and sustainable land use. Prioritizing cultural orientation ensures preservation of human heritage, community identity, and traditional practices, fostering holistic conservation that integrates ecological benefits.https://whc.unesco.org/en/culturallandscape/
