Anthropocene, or the human age, is a concept used by researchers in various fields to describe the relationship between humans and the natural environment today. Although the beginning of the Anthropocene as an era dates back at least to the middle of the 20th century, the term itself became widely used by researchers in the 21st century, suggesting the need to reinterpret many of the interrelationships between humans and the environment, including those that have been significant in environmental philosophy of the 20th century. In the course, we will analyse what characterizes the Anthropocene situation and the extent to which it requires a review of our assumptions and theoretical approaches to the relationship between humans and nature. The aim of the study course is to develop students' understanding of the current problems and theoretical approaches of modern environmental philosophy. Tasks of the study course: 1) to get acquainted with modern philosophical discussions about

The forest biome is one of the most important components of the biosphere, ensuring the continuity and stability of the biogeosphere processes. On the one hand, forests in Latvia are the dominant type of ecosystems with the greatest contribution to the provision of ecosystem services. On the other hand, the forest sector is one of the most important in Latvia's economy. This study course is a roadmap for forest resource and forest landscape management, which takes into account relationships and synergies among ecological, social and economic factors. The aim of the study course is to provide opportunities for students to acquire and develop their knowledge of the role of forest biome and forest landscapes in global biosphere processes and to raise awareness of sustainable management of forest resources and forest landscapes, which ensures the multifunctionality of forests and synergies between ecological, social and economic factors.
