Long Term Perspective of Environmental Changes (the more you learn, the easier saving the Earth will become)

Biology is among the best trans-disciplinary sciences with a strategic role for developing a sustainable strategy of life. The students of the Master degree in Applied and Experimental Biology of Modena University have cooperated to prepare this paper after the course of Applied Botany and Palynology of 2019. In this synthesis, three chapters report on the main ideas and outcomes they have collected from the power-point slide shows they presented in class on the topic of understanding “Long-Term Environmental Changes”. The focus of the three chapters is on the key issues related to sustainability from a biological/ecological standpoint: the analysis of biodiversity, vulnerability assessment and domesticated nature. As biologists of the future, the Master students show us three complementary points of view to consider this crucial topic, from observational methods to predictions for the future.
