Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
The zoology and ecology excursion takes place in Vidauban (center of the Var) and in the neighboring communes.
It makes it possible to make contact with the terrestrial ecology of a temperate continental region then with a submediterranean region. The diversity of biotopes encountered gives the opportunity to observe a large number of animal species impossible or very difficult to find in Belgium. It is an experiment in applied taxonomy and perception of the ecological structure of fauna and flora.
Observations must respect the requirements of scientific rigor. Circumstances must be established with precision and noted. Fieldwork should lead to the collection of study material (a plant collection and a zoological collection.)
The set of observations (collections and notes) must make a coherent whole and allow a real scientific evaluation.
Such an approach is commonly practiced during expeditions or explorations. Nowadays, this type of field work also forms the basis of impact studies, now generalized in Europe for any land-use planning operation.
Content of UE
