Course structure

Day 1

2 hours

We will explore our relationship with nature, the science behind how ecosystems function and the ways that nature is impacted by human activity.

Welcome and introductions

Introduction to ecosystems
Part one focuses on exploring what ecosystems are and how they function. We look at the ways that natural systems interact to create the conditions that allow life and also reflect on our personal relationship with the natural world and what nature means to us.

How are ecosystems changing?
Part two looks at the ways that ecosystems are changing under pressures from changes in land and sea use, climate breakdown, pollution and non-native species. We explore the changes that we may have noticed in our own lives and look at national and global trends from key evidence bases such as the Inter-Governmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Eco-Systems Services (IPBES).

Day 2

2.5 hours

We look at the drivers for action on the nature crisis, explore barriers to changing behaviours and create our own action plans for nature recovery.

Welcome and recap       

‘Can nature recover?’

Part one considers the range of action necessary to enable nature recovery and also the national and international frameworks driving action and change. We also consider the positive signs of change that may be going on around us at a local level.

What can I do?
Part two considers the opportunities for practical action and personal choices that can help nature recover. We explore behaviour change insights around environmental messaging and Wales’s own unique species and habitats. Finally we consider our own spheres of influence and activity to create a personal or organisational action plan to help nature recovery in Wales and beyond.
