What is your background? Geography? Biology? Planning/development? Wildlife?

The application of geography is inter-disciplinary

What is geography? The study of features and processes in space and time

What is geography? The study of features and processes in space and time –Physical geography Rocks, water, air, soil, flora & fauna

What is geography? The study of features and processes in space and time –Physical geography Rocks, water, air, soil, flora & fauna –Human geography Culture, society, demography, development & transportation

What is geography? The study of features and processes in space and time –Physical geography Rocks, water, air, soil, flora & fauna –Human geography Culture, society, demography, development & transportation –Integrated geography Bridges human & physical geography e.g. environmental management & sustainability

What is development?

Before development?

Development often interrupts nutrient cycles and ecosystem function

Nutrient cycles PlantsAnimalsMicrobesSoil/sediment

Nutrient cycles PlantsAnimalsMicrobesSoil/sediment

Humans and other animals require key resources to survive – food, water and shelter

Group activity - humans Food Water Shelter

Group activity - wildlife Food Water Shelter

Summary Geography and ecology are interwoven

Summary Geography and ecology are interwoven Removing animal resources = animals lost = loss of nutrient cycling

Summary Geography and ecology are interwoven Removing animal resources = animals lost = loss of nutrient cycling Replacing/protecting animal resources = sustainable development

Summary Geography and ecology are interwoven Removing animal resources = animals lost = loss of nutrient cycling Replacing/protecting animal resources = sustainable development Sustainable development requires ecological information

Summary Geography and ecology are interwoven Removing animal resources = animals lost = loss of nutrient cycling Replacing/protecting animal resources = sustainable development Sustainable development requires ecological information Sustainable development means humans and wildlife co- exist
