Ecology and society

A teaching unit designed to link theoretical ecology, its operational implementation and territorial issues as seen by society's stakeholders. Based on a format combining theoretical lectures with a reminder of the elements needed to understand issues in the field (ecosystem dynamics, anthropization, socio-ecosystem resilience, in situ conservation, etc.), this unit comprises several field blocks (each consisting of a preparatory TD/TP and an "active" field trip). The territories visited will provide an opportunity to meet social players (managers, elected representatives, associations, shepherds, etc.) whose position enables us to understand how ecological issues govern their actions, and how in turn their actions impact biodiversity, its dynamics and its distribution.

Know how to construct, conduct and exploit data from a semi-structured interview. Be familiar with the tools of the sociologist applied to ecological issues. In the field, be able to carry out integrative readings of landscapes, infer dynamics and question the anthropic component.

Basic knowledge of ecology and organism biology.
