Integrating Traditional Knowledge into the Wyss Academy's Approach

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 Sheila Funnell, Head of Innovation and Impact at Hub East Africa (headed by Dr. Benson Okita).
In East Africa, changes in land use combined with the effects of climate change have increased pressure on, and competition for, natural resources, compromising the functional integrity of ecosystems and the services they provide. The team within the Wyss Academy for Nature’s Hub East Africa works to promote the coexistence of people and nature by preserving the connectivity, functionality, and health of ecosystems.
