Learning Objectives

Botanical aspects
The module aims to know the essential legislation for environmental protection and evaluation; acquire critical capacity to examine plans and projects to be evaluated; know the tools of representation and evaluation such as indexes, matrices and cartographic representations in the floristic and vegetational field.
Zoological aspects
The module proposes to evaluate the quality, the incidence of the environment and the potential impacts on the faunal biotic component; acquire critical ability to examine plans and projects.

Course Structure

Botanical aspects
The teaching is based on lectures supported by presentations "Power point" containing information on the issues addressed. moreover, there will be exercises on the topics dealt with in the form of case studies and surveys in the field with the teacher
Zoological aspects
Lectures and practical exercises in field. If the teaching will give in a mixed or remote way, the necessary changes with respect to what was previously stated may be introduced, in order to respect the program envisaged and reported in the Syllabus.
