Los ODS en la Educación desde el paradigma de la Economía Ecológica, la Biomimesis y los Derechos de la Naturaleza

07.Sep - 08. Sep, 2022 Cod. H20-22

Description

The positive experience of the first summer course called "Biomimicry, a multidisciplinary proposal to face the challenges of post-COVID sustainability", made it possible to identify the need to carry out another summer course aimed at achieving a highly qualified human resource from the Biomimicry paradigms and the SDGs. This course is especially aimed at the field of university education and Vocational Training, although it can be extended to non-formal education, the professional, business, and labor world; and, of course, to the NGOs. The objective is to implement a high quality education, which is inclusive, with gender equity and where science and technology are transdisciplinary and holistic in harmony with Nature, which is urgent in higher education.

Objectives

To harmonise and make viable the new vision on Higher Education regarding living in harmony with Nature, to build an ecological civilisation focused on the SDGs, transversalised from the professional, university and vocational training sphere under the paradigm of Ecological Economics, Biomimicry and the Rights of Nature.

Fulfil the UN SDGs that are socially accepted but have not yet been integrated into the education system based on transdisciplinary, regenerative and holistic knowledge, science and technology; where inter- and intra-generational co-responsibility in relation to the components of Nature prevails.

        Eduardo Federico Schaefeer

        I have been working in herpetology since 1997, studying the amphibians and reptiles of northern Argentina. I carry out comparative studies in communities under anthropic and non-anthropic impact, analysing different aspects of amphibian and reptile life histories: reproduction, feeding, song acoustic variables, trophic aspects, environmental variables, anthropization, species diversity). From 1990 to date I have developed a wide experience in fieldwork campaigns and techniques, collection and identification of herpetozoan samples. I have carried out studies on amphibians and reptiles: reproductive modes, behaviour, bioacoustic feeding, larvae, lists of species in reserves and national parks, distribution, conservation, etc. University lecturer since 1997 in Vertebrate Zoology, Animal Ecology and Community Ecology. Currently, the main objective of my studies is to obtain useful tools to detect priority areas for biodiversity conservation, examining the effectiveness and representativeness of protected areas in the Argentinean Chaco, one of the most threatened environments on the planet. The aim is to propose viable strategies to ecologically and socio-economically integrate the existing system of protected areas.
