Opis:

Do we really need elephants? And is it important that the Siberian tiger is threatened with extinction? And when they suddenly prosper, shall we hunt them again? These questions could be answered in many ways: in an ethical, philosophical, ecological or economical way. What is the value of nature for human beings? What will happen if the majority of people have the opinion that nature is just “for taking and using”?

Problems of overexploitation of Natural Resources are a serious threat for the future of our planet and the quality of life of the people living there. Fortunately more and more people are aware of the fact that we are part of nature and not the ones to use it until nothing is left. We may realize now, that we have to maintain our biodiversity because we need it if we want mankind to survive.

Aim of the programme
In this Masters programme students obtain the tools, knowledge and skills to preserve this precious nature and biodiversity in a sustainable way. This is relevant in nature reserves but specifically in areas with other functions, like urban areas, river systems or agricultural land. In these areas, the role of nature and biodiversity is very important, but the threats are serious. Students learn to do interdisciplinary research to issues related to nature conservation and biodiversity management. They will develop skills to evaluate ecosystems, to analyse conflicts of interest, to give advice on management of natural values and nature areas and develop and implement policy on nature conservation. Students learn to manage the diversity of life on earth and support our sustainable future, and to do high quality research in this field.
