Ecosystem Restoration and Rewilding

About this programme

The course is about ecosystem restoration and rewilding of species, ecosystems and ecosystem services in forests, wetlands, grasslands and aquatic systems. The course covers the foundational concepts of restoration and rewilding to give the students a solid theoretical background for practical restoration work. The students learn to identify the need for restoration and rewilding and appropriate methods to conduct practical restoration work. The planning and assessment of practical restoration and rewilding has a strong focus in the course. The course covers scales from individuals and populations to landscape scale restoration and rewilding (for example inoculation of fungi on trees to re-introducing megaherbivores).
