Bringing nature and
people back together
We provide a social-ecological approach
for the conservation of biodiversity
Towards a better management of nature’s values
We aim to identify the boundaries that hamper biodiversity
protection globally
We need to put an end to the disconnection of biodiversity conservation from society. Habitat fragmentation
and landscape homogenisation have to be addressed holistically to achieve transformations towards sustainability.
By combining institutional, ecological and social analysis our project can contribute to better manage nature’s
diverse values and boost biodiversity protection.

From regional cases to a global perspective
Testing our social-ecological approach in four diverse locations
Grenoble
France
Göttingen
Germany
Cape Town
South Africa
Stockholm
Sweden
We collect data across four cities of different sizes and different stages of socioeconomic development in order to uncover unique conservation methods. We conduct cross-case comparisons that will give us insight into the differences between metropolitan and mountain areas, and with more or less economic equity. This will offer a scalable solution to improve biodiversity conversation on a global level.
