Compétences

This specialisation provides opportunities for students to achieve and demonstrate the following learning outcomes :

• Knowledge (theoretical and practical) of the following subjects :

1. • The complex origins, structure and functioning of tropical forests and other ecosystems containing trees (woodlands, savannas, and derived croplands).
   • Appropriate use of ecological sciences and tools to address coviable (for both human and non-human communities) forest management problems.
   • Fieldwork design, empirical data collection, data modelling, preparing guidelines for viable ecosystem management.
   • Societal rooting of ecological sciences and what it means in terms of methodological subjectivity, knowledge limits, and potential instrumentalisation by stakeholders.

• Skills / cognitive - able to :
  
  • Develop independent learning skills necessary for the foundation of lifelong learning

• Skills / practical – able to :
  • Tackle problems by collecting, analysing and evaluating appropriate quantitative and qualitative information and using it creatively.
  • Plan and execute research or development work, evaluate the outcomes and draw valid conclusions.

• Competence / responsibility - able to :
  • Display the competence, key skills, behaviour and attitudes required in a professional working life.
  • Communicate clearly, concisely and confidently in spoken and written format.

• Subject specific competence / autonomy - able to :
  • Understand specificities of tropical forests and trees ecology, and evaluate options for improving ecosystem services through the sustainable management of forests, trees and other natural resources.
  • Prepare and evaluate forest and natural resource management projects/guidelines, to exploit or conserve ecosystems observing principles of coviability for both the ecosystems and local stakeholders.
