Description
This UE is a first approach of Conservation Sciences according to the points of view of the various actors:
- scientific approach: basic and practical approach to conservation and restoration of populations and communities
- societal approach: role of the scientist in the management of species and ecological environments, and interactions with other conservation actors (managers, local actors)
- ethical approach: reflection on the values of biodiversity (quantifiable, preferential, normative) and their applications according to different models, placed in a historical context (mainly ecosystem services and sustainable development)
Necessary pre-requisites
- no pre-requisite in terms of validation of UE, but having followed the general ecology and evolutionary ecology courses required in L2 and L3S5
