With the increasing human pressure on ecosystems and cultural landscapes, one of the main challenges is to design and develop ecological restoration that supports the preservation of biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihood security. A central theme here is to integrate the ecological dimension with the socio-cultural dimension in order to create sustainable landscapes and equitable societies. Therefore, restoration does not only focus on ecological functions and biodiversity, but also on human communities, their knowledge and values. Indeed, restoration requires of society as agents of sustainable transformations.
During the seminar in the second module we will examine how we can restore nature, how we can engage different social actors and how we can measure the impacts of restoration strategies on human wellbeing and biodiversity.
The overall goal of this seminar module is to move on from the designing and implementing work performed in the previous semester to working directly on the transdisciplinary project you have chosen in the previous semester. An outcome will include an outreach project e.g. a film, presentation to the wider public or article.
Upon completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. Gain knowledge about basic ecological and social methods for implementing restoration practices;
2. Acquire understanding about the complex interactions between social and ecological systems in restoration;
3. Ability to deal with complexity
4. Be familiar with the scientific literature regarding ecological restoration
Students will also get competencies on:
1. Ability to systematically research information
2. Ability to work in interdisciplinary teams
3. Ability to communicate in writing and oral formats.
4. Designing and implementing an transdisciplinary project (from start to "finish")
