THREAD 1: Ecosystem service assessment and monitoring

Here in the Social-Ecological Workshop, we study the inner workings of multifunctional landscapes, in partnership with the people who depend on them. We use fieldwork, modelling, scenario planning, and synthesizing to understand social-ecological systems. We believe that envisioning the future we want is the first step towards achieving it.
To build a better future, we need a deeper understanding of the ecosystem dynamics that are shaped by relationships between people and nature. Our research fosters critical thinking about social-ecological systems in a setting where stakeholders, rights holders, and citizens are engaged in the scientific process.
