- Abstract
There is a clear spatial disparity between the locations at which landscape design programs are taught and the locations that have the greatest demand for it from the point of view of biodiversity, which leads to an uneven allocation of educational and social resources and leaves natural resources highly vulnerable to the geo-political contingencies of sovereign rule. This research paper carries out interpretive qualitative research on the impacts and potential educational policies to tackle the disconnection between landscape architecture programs and world biodiversity hotspots. The result shows that it includes incorporating Indigenous (environmental) Knowledge Systems at a macroscopic level and the acupunctural LA education reform of place perception and an emphasis on materiality, which are generally contributive to the long-term ambition of creating a continuous biodiversity hotspot zone that spans the most biologically varied and ecologically fragile regions of the planet, with sufficient administrative oversight and financial backing, a prosperous ecotourism industry, and raised environmental awareness from professionals and the public.
