ERS 422 - Biosphere Reserves as Social-Ecological Systems
A term-long reading course introducing students to social-ecological systems, using the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Georgian Bay. Internationally known as "experiments in sustainable development", biosphere reserves pursue conservation of biodiversity, sustainable resource management, and aim to build social and ecological resilience. Students will link theories from their readings to guest lectures and excursions that address aquatic ecosystems, sustainable forestry, species at risk management, and Indigenous knowledge.
