What Lapwings can teach us about the necessity of local ecosystem restoration
Environment
The restoration of industrial landscapes to tap into the life-sustaining ecosystem services of water bodies constitutes a colossal challenge for local and regional governments. Place-based education is a pedagogical method which provides students real life opportunities of learning, helps communities to save cost and garner wider support for required climate adaptation projects. Combining formal education with ecosystem restoration is a realistic strategy to make necessary things happen.

What does it mean to be human? Indigenous stewardship, education and participatory biotope maintenance
Environment
Fostering a deep respect for nature among individuals in our society is key to building resilience. Individuals who feel a sense of belonging and responsibility towards the land and the planet we inhabit have a deeper connection and understanding of the environment and make greater efforts in taking care of it. Indigenous populations have done this throughout their entire existence. Today, participatory biotope maintenance could be one of the ways in which stewardship can continue to be brought forward, flipping the role of humans in the Anthropocene.
