About

Given the current speed of habitat and species loss caused by human development, the restoration of degraded ecosystems is one of the greatest challenges humankind is facing. Shanghai Jiao Tong University offers the Ecosystem Restoration and Sustainable Development programme.

Overview

Key facts

For this reason, the United Nations declared the current decade (2021-2030) as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Ecosystem Restoration and Sustainable Development global effort will require experts on ecosystem science, management and design. This holistic approach will allow for a deeper understanding of how ecosystems recover from human disturbance and how we can use this knowledge to increase the currently limited performance of restoration practice. This course is particularly suited for students with interests in nature conservation, the natural component of landscape architecture, or ecosystem management in a broad sense. This course will allow students to exchange their knowledge in a multidirectional learning environment where we all will address real world restoration cases. Through research, we will learn how forests and other ecosystems have changed during this time to apply that knowledge to a real restoration project that students will develop. We will increase our understanding of what nature is for humans and the Earth system, we will increase study our connection to it. This course will arm you with one of the most important tools to work with and for nature in the coming decades.
