wetfutures at cafe scientifique

Our very own Ben Jennings (WetFutures UK) spoke at Cafe Scientifique at the Bradford Media Museum this week, discussing the work of WetFutures and the way in which we engage with environmental policy makers, such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Ben's talk highlighted how engagement and collaboration with the scientific and policy-driven community allows us to discuss the role of heritage management of wetlands can go beyond the perception that archaeologists are all about bog bodies. In particular, Ben highlighted the role of WetFutures in engaging with communities within areas of wetlands, and the value of this enacting change within government policy to ensure wetland protection.
