Ecology and societies

Teaching unit aimed at linking theoretical ecology, its operational implementation, and territorial issues as seen by societal actors. Built on a format combining theoretical courses covering the elements necessary for understanding field issues (ecosystem dynamics, anthropization, socio-ecosystem resilience, in situ conservation, etc.), this teaching unit includes several field blocks (each consisting of a preparatory tutorial/practical and an "active" field trip). The territories visited will provide an opportunity to meet members of society (managers, elected officials, associations, shepherds, etc.) whose position allows 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 then exploit data from a semi-structured interview. Have a knowledge of sociological tools applied to ecological issues. In the field, be able to perform integrative readings of landscapes, infer dynamics, and question the anthropogenic component.

Basic concepts in ecology and organism biology.
