Restoration Ecology

Course aim

The aim of Restoration Ecology is to train students in planning and research relevant to the achievement of vegetation cover and wildlife habitat objectives in degraded landscapes.

Course content

Restoration Ecology presents current theories of restoration in science and practice. The ecological approach links ecological theory in lectures to practical restoration in the field. Examples of successful restoration are presented as case studies used to monitor the effectiveness of on-ground works and prescribed management regimes. Students practice applying ecological theory to habitat designs on degraded land.
