Excursion of the MA Seminar ‘Urban Natures in the Anthropocene’ <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

led by Prof. Dr. Sandra Jasper<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with our Master’s students, we visited the nature conservation area ‘Tennenloher Forst’, a former military training ground just opposite the Institute of Geography. This area was shaped by decades of intense contamination through military use. Today, it functions as a unique habitat for rare species, especially sand biotopes, and as a laboratory for testing innovative approaches to conservation including grazing by Przewalski horses as landscape managers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were guided through this\u00a0‘Franconian Desert’ by conservation manager Stefan M\u00fcmmler from LPV Mittelfranken<\/a> who told us about the site\u2019s military history, <\/em>its biodiversity, and a recent wildfire. In the MA seminar ‘Urban Natures in the Anthropocene’<\/a>, we engage with different theoretical perspectives on urban natures\u00a0and\u00a0examine how the planetarity of ecological change is elucidated in local ways of place-making.
