Roosa's lecture focused on expert contestations & on how questions of repair/care in restoration are far from straightforward, starting with which ecosystems are considered (most) in need of repair, how repair is measured and how the overall context of intensive land-use affects these debates.

Dr Roosa Rytkönen delivers her lecture on contestations around repair in the restoration of forestry-drained peatlands at the University of Freiburg, as part of a series on 'Healing, Repair, and Ecological Restoration: Interdisciplinary Dialogues on Planetary Health’ at the Centre of Planetary Health.
Last week, our very own Roosa Rytkönen was guest speaker at the University of Freiburg's lecture series on ‘Healing, Repair and Ecological Restoration: Interdisciplinary Dialogues on Planetary Health’! Roosa spoke to contestations around forestry-drained peatland restoration in Estonia and Finland.
