3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
It is impossible to carry out a wise and sustainable planning of our ecosystems without knowing the mechanisms that control the various processes of their functioning. The situation is worsened, in many cases, not because that precise knowledge is lacking, but because decisions are made based on indicators without any functional basis.
Many of the problems related to decision-making result from the lack of bridges between different approaches to the understanding of nature. This fact is reflected in the absence of conceptual and methodological proposals in which the territory is considered as a set of interdependent ecological and socioeconomic systems that can be planned and managed as an integrated and unitary entity. There is indeed a great conceptual and methodological dispersion derived from the partial, fragmented and compartmentalized treatment that is made of the natural environment and the resources it represents. To overcome this confusion and complexity, it is necessary to develop a new conceptual framework and empirical approach that has been provided by the ecosystemic approach.
The ecosystemic approach is nothing more than a line of thought and methodological strategy that allows analyzing and modeling the complex system of biophysical interrelations, among which man is included, which defines the natural environment. It takes the ecosystem as a unit of study and seeks, through the knowledge we have about the unifying principles that explain its organization and dynamics, to understand the functioning of the natural environment and the cause-effect relationships that are established when different exploitation models are applied.
As a general framework of reasoning, it uses the renewed concept of ecosystem, and as the main thread of his argument, the integration of knowledge coming not only from ecology but also from other disciplines belonging to the field of environmental sciences and technologies. Methodologically, it uses the Hierarchical Systems Theory as a tool for the classification and cartography of the ecosystems of a territory.
The ecosystemic approach is nourished by the theoretical and applied principles of three major disciplines belonging to the field of natural science, ecology, geomorphology and hydrology, without dismissing the knowledge of other sciences with abiotic or biotic approaches such as climatology, geology, edaphology, botany, zoology, microbiology, etc.

Its field of action relates to ecosystems destroyed or highly degraded, entering the terrain of the so-called ecological engineering; also called ecotechnology, is defined as the design that makes human society of the natural environment for the benefit of both. Its basic objectives are focused on the functional restoration of ecosystems highly altered by human activities and in the design and creation of new ecosystems with ecological and social values that self-organize with small amounts or without supplementary energy. Through ecological engineering, the ecosystem approach is integrated with environmental technologies, especially environmental engineering, involved in the practice of principles and technologies related to the resolution of pollution problems.

Cox, George W. Bird Migration and Global Change Island Press 9781597266888 2010 Changes in seasonal movements and population dynamics of migratory birds in response to ongoing changes resulting from global climate changes are a topic of great interest to conservation scientists and birdwatchers around the world. Because of their dependence on specific habitats and resources in different geographic regions at different phases of their annual cycle, migratory species are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. In Bird Migration and Global Change, eminent ecologist George W. Cox brings his extensive experience as a scientist and bird enthusiast to bear in evaluating the capacity of migratory birds to adapt to the challenges of a changing climate. Cox reviews, synthesizes, and interprets recent and emerging science on the subject, beginning with a discussion of climate change and its effect on habitat, and followed by eleven chapters that examine responses of bird types across all regions of the globe. The final four chapters address the evolutionary capacity of birds, and consider how best to shape conservation strategies to protect migratory species in coming decades. The rate of climate change is faster now than at any other moment in recent geological history. How best to manage migratory birds to deal with this challenge is a major conservation issue, and Bird Migration and Global Change is a unique and timely contribution to the literature. https://islandpress.org/book/bird-migration-and-global-change
