Rivers are vital to the health of many other ecosystems, and important ecosystems in themselves. They also play a crucial role in human health, wellbeing and culture. Unfortunately, many of our rivers are in poor condition due to human activities such as canalisation, damming and pollution. Conservation efforts to restore rivers can help improve the health of other ecosystems, and improve river function, helping to supply freshwater and flood mitigation.
This course will help you to understand the intricacies of river restoration, and how important it is for many conservation efforts. We will look at the principles of river restoration, and how to apply them to conservation and ecology projects.
There is a short assessment at the end and if you get over 70% you will receive a Certificate.
