Nina Fontana and Summer Steenberg "An overview of current demining efforts and the future of restoration in Ukraine"
Nina Fontana is an interdisciplinary ecologist, focused on supporting stewardship and land restoration in California. Summer Steenberg is Ph.D. candidate at the Duke University.
This presentation highlights current demining and ordnance disposal in Ukraine (as of Summer 2023) with a focus on humanitarian disposal. We present ongoing efforts by local, national, and international organizations to map out, triage, and clear areas. In this, we focus on the methods of clearance and their pros/cons, emphasizing the role of local development and industry in these practices. Moving to current challenges, pre overview the issues being raised about speed of clearance, certification, and prioritizations. In closing, we discuss potential considerations and interventions to enhance clearance efforts by minimizing contamination and remediating affected soil through collaborative, community-engaged partnerships. The talk further overviews future potential moves and the need to empower Ukraine's capacity for sustainable clearance interventions, focusing on bilateral development and research.
