POOL at the 7th Pan‑European Duck Symposium

On August 18, 2025, Pierre-Lou Lou, representing the POOL project, presented his exhibition “Finnish Vernal Pools Through the Seasons” at the 7ᵐᵉ Pan-European Duck Symposium (PEDS7) held at Kristianstad University in southern Sweden.

This international symposium, focused on the latest scientific advances in the study and conservation of ducks, drew specialists, conservationists, and wildlife managers from across Europe and beyond. Pierre-Lou’s work offered an evocative dialogue between the poetic imagery of Finnish vernal pools and the ecological narratives surrounding wetland habitats.

Pierre‑Lou warmly thanks the organizers of PEDS7, the staff at Kristianstad University, and all the participants who visited the exhibition. Their interest, curiosity, and enthusiasm made the event particularly rewarding and inspiring.
