[ERA Webinar]: A Systems Thinking View of Ecological Restoration

What drives certain trends that are currently emerging around ecological restoration in India? Why have unscientific quick fix and non-inclusive approaches to restoration become so popular? How do factors beyond individual and organisational control influence how we approach restoration? How do we comprehend the big picture even as we work in our specialised domains within it? Here, Kabir Sharma paints the big picture of ecological restoration in India and outlines the complexity of factors that influence it. 00:00:00 – Preview 00:02:17 – Why a systems approach is needed 00:04:49 – Arjun introduces Kabir 00:06:33 – An overview 00:09:19 – Some emerging trends in the restoration space 00:11:30 – The system as an iceberg: Most of what drives the system is not immediately apparent 00:13:29 – Making sense of causes and effects 00:15:05 – Systems thinking captures the big picture, not details. 00:16:36 – How to interpret a Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) 00:17:35 – Unpacking the Systems Map of ecological restoration in India 00:20:28 – How quick fix tree planting “solutions” compete with ecological restoration 00:22:45 – Area under green cover and area under restoration are very different things 00:23:38 – Why compensatory afforestation pushes more quick fix plantations 00:26:12 – Media reporting can shape dominant forces in the system 00:27:29 – Ecological restoration is gaining momentum with its own reinforcing loops 00:39:10 – When quick fix tree plantations backfire 00:43:38 – The Systems Map in its entirety 00:44:54 – Different groups pull the system in different directions 00:46:35 – Only by changing the dominant forces in a system can its outcomes be changed 00:49:19 – How could restoration outcomes be changed? 00:52:11 – Changing how we measure success 00:55:50 – How do our actions influence the system? 00:57:53 – Demo: Adding your own interventions to the Restoration systems map on Kumu 01:06:05 – Why we made this map open to all Questions & Answers 01:09:08 – Can this model incorporate black swan events? 01:11:38 – On the role of increased awareness 01:15:35 – On the second and third order effects of quick fix plantations 01:18:39 – On educating industries on the right way of restoration 01:22:05 – On using new measures to influence older, problematic loops 01:24:20 – Including biodiversity parameters and food chain establishment 01:26:36 – Local communities, grazing pressures and unintended consequences 01:32:14 – Accounting for competing interests within community
