This course aims to develop an understanding of various nature conservation principles through the assessment and evaluation
of natural environments. It provides a foundation in scientific evidence rooted in ecology, community ecology, landscape ecology,
and conservation biology, as well as approaches to problem-solving. Students will establish a basis for connecting these concepts
to specialized fields such as regional nature conservation planning and biodiversity conservation planning. Ultimately, the
course seeks to foster an environmental philosophy for sustaining a humane way of life on Earth.
The primary aim of this course is to examine the current challenges in human-nature interactions and provide a historical
perspective on how approaches to nature conservation have evolved over time. Throughout the course, we will explore various
environmental issues at both global and regional levels. You will learn the ways in which humans interact with the natural
world across diverse biomes to promote sustainable land use and mitigate conflicts. By integrating principles from ecology,
conservation biology, and landscape ecology, along with insights from cultural anthropology and environmental psychology,
I will introduce methodologies for addressing environmental challenges and developing strategies for effective nature conservation.
- By the end of the course, students should have basic knowledge and understanding of:
1. Global ecosystem diversity and the drivers of past and present global environmental change. - 2. The concepts of biodiversity, ecological succession, and landscape change.
- 3. How physical and biological characteristics of the environment influence spatial distribution patterns in ecological communities.
- 4. Past and present techniques and strategies for nature conservation.
- 5. The historical evolution of environmental policies and laws across different countries.
