− | '''Platform for para-ecologists worldwide'''
| |
− | | |
− | This website is a platform for para-ecologists worldwide as well as for projects, organisations or individuals that are involved in the capacity development of para-ecologists. The platform aims to facilitate the networking and sharing of information within the para-ecologist community but also inform the public about the concepts, aims and methodology of para-ecologist programmes.

− | For the website, we stick to the term para-ecologist. With t<span style="color:#ff0000"></span>his term, we explicitly also refer to '''<span style="color:#ff0000">para-taxonomists</span>, <span style="color:#ff0000">biodiversity facilitator</span><span style="color:#ff0000">s and </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">other terms</span>''' that have been created in this context.

− | A para-ecologist is a specialist with extensive local knowledge and being trained largely on-the-job in one or more fields of ecological science. He or she is mutually communicating with the local and scientific communities, contributing to both scientific research and local development.

− | '''The main objectives of para-ecologist approaches are''' | |
− | | |
− | *Enhancement of communication between land users and scientists for mutual learning: Integration of local knowledge into research as well as empowerment of land users to understand, use and implement scientific results in agriculture and forestry
| |
− | *Environmental education and sensitization (to develop awareness, win hearts, change minds)
| |
− | *Improvement of relationships between conservation areas and local communities
| |
− | *Improvement of livelihoods through development, capacity development and alternative incomes
| |
− | *Creation of job opportunities; also through the assessment of alternative sources of community livelihoods and capacity development (e.g. training of tour guides)
| |
− | *Make basic research more efficient (e.g. biodiversity assessment, collection and documentation of organisms, monitoring of biodiversity or livelihood conditions etc.)
| |
− | *Allow research activities and data collection also during absence of the scientists
| |
− | *Share research and other specific site information amongst the different stakeholders whenever necessary
