Don’t miss this fascinating conference on the impact of military conflicts on European forests!<\/strong><\/p>

On April 8, MUCBO will host Germain Hello-Lapr\u00e9rie, a researcher from the Mus\u00e9um national d\u2019histoire naturelle (Paris, France) and the University of Ghent (Belgium), who will present the results of his groundbreaking research on the impact of early modern conflicts (from the 16th to the 19th century) on the forests of Northwestern Europe.<\/p>

In this conference, Germain will discuss his doctoral thesis, which focuses on how armies of the time managed natural resources, particularly firewood, during conflicts. Through the analysis of over 24,000 charcoal fragments from cooking stoves in military camps, it has been identified how troops used nearby forest resources and how these practices contributed to the degradation of forest ecosystems. This research also highlights the complementarity between archaeological studies and historical sources, offering a new perspective on the interaction between war, natural resources, and the environment.<\/p>
