Our research project aims to better understand the environmental issues faced by wetlands situated within, or close to an urban environment.
Precisely, we are focusing our research on the Mont-Royal Swamp, a fairly unknown wetland located at the heart of Montreal that sustains many forms of life and biodiversity. In our research we wanted to explore how wetlands located close to urban environments present peculiar environmental challenges but also how our representation of nature impacts the actions taken by individuals or communities towards the natural environment.
