Convened by the REPAiR Project, this event will explore the roots and legacy of the preference for 'green' landscapes and how this has shaped assumptions about desertification, degradation and pastoral ecosystems.
We are delighted to welcome Igshaan Samuels and Brahim El Guabli as guest speakers for this discussion, which will be chaired by Jeremy Allouche and Linda Pappagallo. We warmly invite anyone with an interest in rangelands, pastoralism and myths about them, to join, share your stories and rethink how we ‘see’ rangelands and pastoralism.
Space is limited. To attend, please register in advance here: https://myth-healthy-ecosystems-are-green.eventbrite.co.uk
