The landscape-based management approach represents a relevant alternative for the policy design for the sustainable management of natural resources, especially in the forestry sector. Based on bibliographic and documentary research, the main conceptions and theoretical scope of the concept are reviewed; as a case study, the design and operation of the French environmental policy are described and finally the case of Mexico is analyzed. The review evidences institutional weakness in the design and implementation of Mexican policies based on this approach.

Keywords : landscape; environmental policy; sustainable forest management.
