Speaker: Ed Struzik, fellow, Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy, Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada.
Topic: Ed’s talk will be based on his book entitled Swamplands.
Swamplands highlights the unappreciated struggle being waged to save peatlands by scientists, conservationists, and landowners around the world. An ode to peaty landscapes in all their offbeat glory, the book is also a demand for awareness of the myriad threats they face. It urges us to see the beauty and importance in these least likely of places. Our planet’s survival might depend on it.
