Wolfgang Haber

Wolfgang Haber (born 13 September 1925 in Datteln, Germany) is a biologist who helped establish the field of landscape ecology.

From 1957 to 1962 he was a research assistant for Heinrich Walter in Hohenheim, then from 1962 to 1966 a curator and deputy director of the Museum of Natural History, Münster.

[1] Haber influenced the scientific and environmental policy development of nature conservation in Germany and internationally.

[2] Haber was a member of the advisory board for Nature Conservation and Landscape Management at the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Germany (moved in 1986 to the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety).

"[3] Haber gives mystifying images of the essence of man and a clear rejection of nature: in his opinion, the path to a sustainable future can only be achieved if we look at reality and focus on the key problems of the 21st century.
