Decolonizing Research: Exploring New Perspectives in Madagascar

The Wyss Academy for Nature at the University of Bern offers a new approach to pressing issues at the intersection of climate change, biodiversity loss and land use change. In its 2023 Annual Report, it looks back at the fourth year since its creation. Watch this interview with Svitlana Lavrenciuc, Research Scientist in the Land Systems and Sustainability Transformations Research & Innovation team.
Land and its use play a central role in transformations toward sustainable development. Land use is a central element of any socio-ecological system, and it is influenced by global claims and decision-making processes. The Research & Innovation team on Land Systems and Sustainability Transformations headed by Prof. Dr. Julie Zähringer applies transdisciplinary approaches, integrating methods from social science and humanities all the way to natural science and quantitative spatial analysis.
