Biodiversidad y servicios ecosistémicos

Alarmados por la pérdida de biodiversidad recientemente, científicos que persiguen la conservación de la naturaleza, y cada vez más responsables políticos han comenzado a resaltar los servicios que los ecosistemas brindan, por ejemplo: alimentos, agua y aire limpios, espacios para recreación y hábitats para animales y plantas.

En colaboración con un grupo de educadores formales e informales, como científicos y gestores de bosques y vida silvestre, los estudiantes no solo aprenderán sobre la gestión sostenible de los ecosistemas, sino que también estudiarán diferentes servicios ecosistémicos y su valor para el bienestar de las sociedades. Para ello se utilizarán enfoques de aprendizaje colaborativos, basados en problemas e indagaciones junto con la Comunidad de Ciencia Abierta en Eslovenia para fomentar la comprensión y la apreciación de la diversidad de los servicios ecosistémicos. Aprovechando la experiencia de los socios de MULTIPLIERS, los estudiantes aprenderán que los servicios ecosistémicos pueden competir entre sí e incluso si pueden equilibrarse, puede haber compensaciones.

Same trees, different perspectives: using a marteloscope to present forests in a new light

Feb 22, 2024

What do you see when you look at a forest? The first, obvious answer could be “trees”, but the more nuanced reality is that forests have different meanings and values to different people. Trees provide important habitats to animals, such as cavities for bats to sleep in and branches for birds to build their nests …
