Perspectives and Challenges of Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) - The course BIP - Germany
Welcome mail Blended Intensive Programme (B.I.P.) at HNE Eberswalde ‘Perspectives and Challenges of Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR)’
Dear students and colleagues!
Welcome to the Blended Intensive Programme (B.I.P.) Perspectives and Challenges of Forest Landscape Restoration.
I. Blended intensive programmes…
... are short, intensive programmes that use innovative ways of learning and teaching, including the use of online cooperation. The programmes may include challenge based learning where transnational and transdisciplinary teams work together to tackle challenges for example those linked to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals or other societal challenges identified by regions, cities or companies. The intensive programme should have added value compared to existing courses or trainings offered by the participating HEIs and can be multiannual. By enabling new and more flexible mobility formats that combine physical mobility with a virtual part, blended intensive programmes aim at reaching all types of students from all backgrounds, study fields and cycles (Blended Intensive Programmes - Erasmus+ & European Solidarity Corps guides - EC Public Wiki).
II. Topic, background and learning objectives of the B.I.P.
Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) is the process of regaining ecological functionality and enhancing human well-being across deforested or degraded forest landscapes. The FLR approach seeks to balance different values/functions at the landscape scale such as water regulation, wildlife habitat, and biodiversity or carbon storage. For a more detailed vision of FLR and its currents relevance, the failure & success factors see Stanturf et al., 2015, Stanturf & Mansourian, 2020; Höhl et al. 2020).
The objectives of the course are: to learn about…
The terminology on FLR
The nature of forest loss and degradation
Restoration approaches and techniques in different forest biomes
Governance of restoration
Case studies from different continents
