"Restoring nature - from international commitments to local actions"​

on Wednesday, 16 November, at 19:00,
via ZOOM

The lecture will be given by Dr. Dagmar Hagen (Norwegian Institute for Nature Research - NINA).

The presentation will begin with the lecturer giving a broad perspective on the need for restoration, and how ecosystem restoration has entered the international arena of policy, science and economy during the last years. She will describe and illustrate how to connect the global restoration targets with local planning, and how the solutions must be found on local scale. By using examples from restoration and mitigation projects in different nature types, the lecturer will demonstrate how the input from ecosystem restoration can contribute to reduce the loss of nature and to the recovery of degraded land. The lecture will demontsrate how the involvement of stakeholders, cooperation with local contractors, and integration of scientific and tacit knowledge produce measurable outcome for ecology, society and economy.
