Enabling multispecies transitions
A paradigm shift to unlearn the framework of human mastery over nature
MUST is a research project funded by the Finnish Strategic Research Council. Our vision is to enable multispecies transitions in which humans and other species can adapt to a new way of life that supports their mutual well-being, without high levels of suffering or inequality between different groups of people, other species or populations

Re-thinking nature-based solutions
Our approach seeks to change how humans relate to other species
Biodiverse and functional ecosystems are rapidly deteriorating worldwide because economic and planning decisions see nature as a resource, framing it as a source of capital.
We aim to understand the types of relationships between humans and other species that could produce and sustain ecologically and socially just outcomes.
Also, we aim to build social-ecological resilience in urban and regional areas by rethinking nature-based solutions processes, structures and practices from the perspectives of both humans and other species.
