Restoration of Our Past and Future: Towards a Way of Life

Part of: Restoration of Natural Systems

Course description

Join Dr. Richard Heba to learn how we can all participate in the respectful rebalancing of global systems and human communities through big and small actions.

Thirty years ago, Continuing Studies at UVic identified a training gap in the developing field of Restoration. Well ahead of others, a unique program of holistic restoration that blends science, the social sciences, and the humanities emerged. From politics to plant ecology, we invited all to participate, regardless of their background. We included practical experience in the field and in the human community.

Today, global systems of water (hydrosphere), air (atmosphere), life (biosphere) and land (geosphere) are widely out of balance as a fifth system humanity (sociosphere) robs energy and resources. Pushing aside the laws of nature, our current system alters global climates and leads to the catastrophic depletion of biodiversity.

Holistic Restoration presents a way of life to bring humanity into equilibrium with the earth!
