Peatland Exchanges #4: Living with peatlands today
Peatland Exchanges #4: Living with peatlands today
An online event on Thursday, March 24, 2022 at 14.00 CET
What is the current sense of peatlands in The Netherlands? How can the other research we have heard about relate to this? How do people perceive peatlands in Ireland, where 20% of the country is covered by peat soil of which 85% is environmentally degraded? How might an artist characterise non-human figures for new narratives?
Explore these questions with ISRIC - World Soil Information Project Coordinator Mary Steverink-Mosugu, WUR Research and Education officer in Cultural Geography Maria de Wit, National Geographic Explorer Emily Toner and artist Kate Foster.
