The futurability of biodiversity : educational presentation material for use in university lectures

Complete Title: 
The futurability of biodiversity : educational presentation material for use in university lectures
Non IUCN Publication
Abstract: 

Futurability is derived from the German zukunft (future) and fähigkeit (potential or ability). "Sustainability" and "sustainable development" are globally recognized modern terms. However, both of these include the meaning of "maintaining the current status quo". Yet, there can be no future for mankind if the aim is to prolong the current situation which our world is confronted by environmental problems. Therefore, RIHN uses the word "futurability" to encapsulate a viewpoint in which we consider how the future environment should be, and from there examine the present to find what actions should be undertaken now to reach the future. Thus, "futurability" is an important research guideline for RIHN. This is a PowerPoint educational presentation for university students taking general subjects. The 11 chapters (500 slides) contain text photos and illustrations in an easy-to-understand yet comprehensive presentation about biodiversity from various viewpoints, such as ecology, folklore, sociology and economics. The slides come with clear notes and comments for lecturers. The presentation can be used as is, or individual slides used in combination with other presentation files, etc.
