Etnotank Speaks

What is “kiskula,” and why are more and more people in Kashubia talking about it today?

In this conversation, we take a closer look at the world of gravel pits—places that, on the one hand, drive development, and on the other, permanently reshape the landscape.

Our guest, a geographer and naturalist, explains what field research really looks like, what actually happens in extraction sites, and why the Pomeranian Voivodeship ranks among the leading regions in Poland in terms of extraction.

This is not just a conversation about data. It is a story of tension between the economy, nature, and people. Between the need to build and the need to preserve.

Do gravel pits always harm the environment?

Where is the boundary of intervention?

And can nature reclaim what humans have taken?

This episode does not offer simple answers. Instead, it opens a conversation that we will all have to face sooner or later.
