Synopsis (short abstract) The course coaches learners to understand, monitor, and manage watersheds as integrated systems. Lessons begin with watershed function and then focus on forests, freshwater, and fisheries. In each case emphasizing interlinkages, spatial structure, seasonality, benefits to humans, and simple monitoring indicators. Project work in the upper Kafue River watershed, one of the headwaters of the Zambezi River in Zambia, and in the Magdalena and Atrato Rivers, Colombia, offer local perspectives and convincing case studies for understanding and managing on-the-ground conditions.

    The sustainable management of biodiversity contributes to addressing food and nutrition security, enhancing resilience, and providing livelihoods to local and indigenous communities that can diversify their activities and generate income. This paper aims to: 1. provide examples of bioeconomy practices, bioproducts and successful case studies that can support biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration, accounting for the trade-offs involved in the developmnet of a bioeconomy; and 2. raise general awareness on the role bioeconomy can play in supporting biodiversity under the different sectors of agrifood systems and bio-based industry, in line with the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework discussions, as well as the FAO strategies on biodiversity, climate change, and science and innovation.
