What is ecological sustainability and why is it important?
John J Piccolo currently works at the Department of Environmental and Life Sciences at Karlstad University where he does research in ecology and conservation biology. His research focus includes freshwater ecosystems and conservation ethics. John is also a President of the Society for Conservation Biology, Europe Section, and advisor for the new peer-review, open access journal The Ecological Citizen.
Sustaining ecosystems for nature and people is the goal of ecological sustainability. Without functioning ecosystems there can be no true sustainability. The goal of conservation biology is to preserve the rich biodiversity of life on Earth. Sustaining this diversity into the future is called Earth stewardship. Conservation biology and Earth stewardship blend eco-evolutionary research with ethics and education to help ensure a sustainable future for the biosphere.
This seminar will be held in English.
