Tracing Forest Discourse
Words shape actions. The way we speak about forests today influences how we treat them — now and in the future. Our language carries the assumptions and arguments of its time. Puhetta metsistä (Speaking of Forests), a project funded by the Kone Foundation, explores a pivotal historical period and region that helped shape ideas about forests: Southern Italy during the High Middle Ages.
