Learning unit contents
This course analyses the interface "Environment, Nature and Management", and proceeds based on questioning, taking special note of historical analysis and the social and cultural approach. The main topic remains conservation of nature.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The course will attempt to make students aware of the many approaches to nature conservation, particularly the diversity of situations found in the world, and will also show how the erosion of biodiversity in our home regions is the result of a radical modification of the modes of occupying territory and developing resources. The intention is to give students basic knowledge of the biology of conservation, including main concepts and basic values, and to describe the framework of reference linking politics and nature conservation in Wallonia.
