Living Planet with Nature-based Solutions MSc

Develop expertise in biodiversity restoration and ecological carbon sequestration, gaining the scientific and practical skills to provide nature-based strategies for long-term ecosystem sustainability. <br/><br/>You will gain advanced training in biodiversity and carbon cycles through hands-on fieldwork, cutting-edge data science, and applied research – preparing you to design and implement nature-based solutions. <br/><br/>Experience the rich biodiversity of Brazils Atlantic Forest, one of the world’s most threatened biodiversity hotspots, while gaining practical training in ecosystem restoration during a field trip with ARAÇÁ (Atlantic Forest Research And Conservation Alliance) to one of its last tracts of primary forest. <br/><br/>The course will prepare you for a high-impact career with practical training and policy insight to drive nature-based solutions in conservation, climate strategy, and sustainable land use. <br/><br/>Your journey will start with immersive fieldwork and data science training in ecology and conservation, based at our outdoor laboratory, Silwood Park Campus.<br/><br/>You will build in-depth expertise in biodiversity, ecological carbon, and environmental policy – enriched by insights from industry and research partners. Youll finish by designing and conducting your own independent research project, putting your skills into real-world practice. <br/><br/>MSc Living Planet streams<br/>This stream is one of several in our MSc Living Planet course:<br/><br/>MSc Living Planet with Computational Methods in Ecology and Evolution<br/>MSc Living Planet with Ecology, Evolution and Conservation<br/>MSc Living Planet with Natured-based Solutions (this stream)<br/>MSc Living Planet with Sustainable Agriculture and Technology<br/>MSc Taxonomy, Biodiversity and Evolution<br/>MRes Living Planet streams<br/>We also offer an MRes in Living Planet course with the following streams:<br/><br/>MRes Biosystematics<br/>MRes Living Planet with Ecology, Evolution and Conservation<br/>MRes Living Planet with Computational Methods in Ecology and Evolution<br/>MRes Living Planet with Ecosystems and Environmental Change
