Into the woods

Overlapping perspectives on the history of “ancient forests”

In ecological, economic and social terms, “ancient forests” play numerous roles. Their definition varies not only from country to country but also according to disciplinary fields. Studying “ancient forests” can involve separating “old-growth forests” from “ancient woodland”, forests that have disappeared and, in the case of “current forests”, those that are not actually very old at all! This conference aims to exchange views and ideas on “ancient forests” including both retrospective and prospective issues. Better understanding their past highlights the key issues of their status, protection and promotion in our current societies and opens up new perspectives about the future of « ancient forests ». Foresters, planners, developers, ecologists, biologists, agriculturalists, geographers, historians, philosophers, ethnologists, cartographers, archaeologists, archaeobotanists, sociologists etc., from all backgrounds, are invited to join this debate about our various and varying concepts of “ancient forests”.

Conference, symposium - History

Mediterranean wetlands, past and present

Le groupe d'histoire des zones humides organise les 20, 21 et 22 septembre son quatrième colloque international. Le thème retenue cette année est « Les zones humides méditerranéennes hier et aujourd’hui ». Des échanges anciens avec l'Université de Padoue ont permis de faire émerger un partenariat durable qui explique que cette année, le groupe d'histoire des zones humides ait fait le choix de tenir son colloque en Italie.
