The Forest and Nature Conservation programme at Wageningen University and Research represents an integrated approach to natural resource management that can be applied at different scales, to diverse ecosystems and in varying political and social contexts.
An outstanding research environment and three comprehensive specialisations contribute to making the programme challenging for undergraduates from both the natural and social sciences.
It will be a major challenge to maintain the economic viability of forests and nature areas, while at the same time ensuring that it provides the non-market goods and services that are increasingly in demand. It is therefore important that together we increase our understanding on functioning and processes in forest and nature areas, so that they can be utilized and conserved in a sustainable manner.
The MSc programme Forest and Nature Conservation provides an excellent preparation for Dutch as well as European and non-European jobs.
