The event takes place in the context of the exhibition "In the Forest. A Cultural History"
After an input presentation by Professor Thomas Crowther, scientists from the Crowther Lab will discuss the impact of deforestation, as well as reforestation, on the climate. How can global ecological restoration be achieved? Join the conversation with renowned researchers from the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich.
The event will be moderated by Mikael Krogerus (Das Magazin).
Admission is free, reservations are compulsory.
The event is being held in collaboration with the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich. It will be held in English.
The forests – used by people for centuries – have faced increasing destruction since the 19th century on account of industrialisation. Figures such as Paul Sarasin and later on Bruno Manser came forward and campaigned for the protection of the forests. The exhibition shows our relationship with the forest through representation in literature and art: once exaggerated by the romantics as a safe haven from civilisation, artists’ depictions of the forest are today dominated by the subject of climate change.
