DC11 — Contribution of environmental NGO’s to urban ecological restoration and rewilding dynamics
Project title | Contribution of environmental NGO’s to urban ecological restoration and rewilding dynamics (DC11) |
Supervisors | Nathalie Blanc (UPC), Harold Levrel (UPC / AgroParisTech), Luc Abbadie (SU) |
Work package | WP5 — Development, sustainable development and the socioecological transitions |
Objectives | The objective is to work on the levers that are mobilized by citizen and local NGOs in very different contexts, in order to defend ecological restoration programs or spontaneous rewilding. The project aims to evaluate the elements that explain the success or failure of these approaches, and more broadly the changes that these initiatives generate within socio-ecosystems, with regard to interactions between humans and non-humans. |
Expected results | The research will develop (i) an interdisciplinary theoretical framework to understand the conditions of effective ecological restoration or spontaneous rewilding, (ii) a series of case-studies, (iii) a typology of these case studies. |
