Intended Learning Outcomes:

  • Students should be able to identify specific restorations targets and suggest a monitoring plan to test if restoration has been successful
  • Students should be able to identify and discuss ecological barriers for a specific restoration target
  • Students should be able to identify and discuss potential conflicts and synergies with other environmental agendas or societal agendas
  • Students should be able to suggest a plan for how to mitigate conflicts and bring potential synergies into play by applying tools from the toolbox
