SESI Exhibition 2024: An Artistic Journey
Eine bessere Welt ist eine Frage der nachhaltigeren Beziehungen zwischen Individuen, Gemeinschaften und Ökosystemen und der Art und Weise, wie diese Beziehungen strukturiert und gesteuert werden. Dennoch richtet sich unser Fokus oft auf Bilder und nicht auf diese grundlegenden Fragen. Gerade für das Verständnis sozial-ökologischer Systeme spielen visuelle Darstellungen und Bilder eine entscheidende Rolle. Wie können wir beides zusammenbringen?
Das Social-Ecological Systems Institute der Leuphana (SESI) lädt alle Interessierten herzlich zur Kunstausstellung ein. Sie zeigt, wie Kunst ein mächtiges Werkzeug sein kann, um Herausforderungen der Nachhaltigkeit zu verstehen und effektive Lösungen zu entwickeln. Die Ausstellung bietet anhand verschiedener Fotografien und Kunstwerke einen Einblick in die vielfältige Arbeit des SESI der Leuphana in verschiedenen Teilen der Welt. Die Besucher*innenr können erleben, wie sozial-ökologisches Systemdenken wertvolle Lösungen für eine nachhaltige und gerechte Zukunft beitragen kann. Wenn Sie sich für sozial-ökologische Systeme interessieren, ist dies der perfekte Ort, um Inspiration und Wissen über das breite Themenspektrum des SESI zu erhalten.

How Do People Connect With Borderscapes: Case Study Of Polish German Twin Cities
The Move’n’Sense project explores citizens’ senses of place in the borderscape and its relation to their everyday life and mobilities behavior. Through a participatory mapping (PPGIS) survey, mental mapping, and GIS analysis, the study reveals alternative spatial configurations and delimitations of the (individual) borderscapes that do or do not align with administrative and physical borders.

Ecosystem Restoration Opportunities In Temperate Working Landscapes Of Southern Chile
This project aims to understand the values and motivations of landowners in southern Chile towards ecosystem restoration, and to scope possibilities of medium-term collaboration with them in a future DFG Emmy-Noether project. The researchers conducted 100 interviews to gain valuable social-ecological insights and practical field knowledge.

The Cocoa Understory: A Different Bean-To-Bar Narrative
These photos represent some of the fieldwork activities that underwrite a forthcoming book about cocoa. The book traces a complex web of social-ecological relationships that emerge as cocoa transforms in unexpected ways. These particular photos highlight people and places that are generally ignored by well-intentioned supply-chain interventions like Fairtrade: government nurseries that cultivate and distribute seedlings, transport ‘gangs’ that carry cocoa, stevedores and port workers, conditions and hazards aboard cargo ships, and consumers in Mexico who make indigenous preparations of chocolate often using beans sourced from West Africa.
Harmonizing Food Security And Biodiversity Conservation In Ethiopia

How And Why Do People Value Grasslands?
This work is part of the Grassworks project, which investigates effects for successful grassland restoration in Germany. The photovoice was applied as a participatory method in the setting of a real-world laboratory for social-ecological grassland restoration. The photos capture individual perspectives on grasslands and explore what people value in these often overlooked ecosystems. The captions are provided by the participants in German (in brackets)

Social-Ecological Dynamics, Ecosystem Services Uses, And Governance Of Green And Blue Infrastructure In Urbanizing Environments
This project explored the human-tree relationships along the rural-urban gradients in a growing megacity of southern India - Bengaluru. The researchers investigated the uses of trees in different locations such as near houses, streets, farms, temples, and sacred platforms and found that people value relational uses of trees more than instrumental ones with urbanization.

How Can Ecosystem Restoration Benefit Both People And Nature?
The goal of this research unit is to develop a social-ecological systems approach to ecosystem restoration. The project aims to generate general insights into ecological, social and social-ecological mechanisms underpinning restoration that can also be applied to other restoration settings. The research is carried out by a large team of researchers from many different institutions. For more information, visit ecosystemrestoration.net.
Regenerative Agriculture In Semi-Arid Landscapes Of South-Eastern Spain
In the AlVelAl region (south-east Spain), farmers opt for regenerative agriculture as a means of halting soil degradation, increasing biodiversity, and promoting the socio-economic and cultural revitalization of the territory. Through this project, researchers explored the role of regenerative agriculture in the supply of ecosystem services, the relationships between people and nature, and the social cohesion in local communities and investigated whether regeneration is happening in other social-ecological domains beyond agriculture, and how they are interlinked.

How Does Nature Contribute To People’s Quality Of Life At Mount Kilimanjaro?
The project “Demand for and Values of Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP) in the Kilimanjaro Social-Ecological System” is embedded in the DFG Research Unit: “The role of nature for human wellbeing in the Kilimanjaro Social-Ecological System.” In the project, the researchers unraveled the demand for regulating, material and non-material NCP and elicited the diverse values of nature for the main stakeholder groups: farmers, nature conservationists, tour guides, and tourists.
