Call for Abstracts: World Biodiversity Forum 2026 Sub Session on Biodiverstiy recovery through Transdisciplinary environmental systems reengineering
The survivability of the variety of life on earth at all levels is dependent on the constantness of the earth’s biological diversity. The distortions of our biodiversity as a result of our veracious quest for new needs, modernization and accessible energy for supporting these activities have constituted grave consequences to existing life on earth. There is therefore the urgent need for biodiversity recovery solutions and this must transcend known disciplinary areas and ‘knowings’ and should be open to a Transdisciplinary spectra where various forms of Transdisciplinary systems engineering can be harnessed to build a wider and more effective biodiversity recovery modality for our planet, mitigating as well, associated consequences aggressively and gnawingly linked to water, food, health and climate change.
