The film presented how ethnological or anthropological knowledge and approaches benefited individuals in their work in connection with the environment and animals. The applied perspective was complemented by the views of researchers.

For both, the starting point were many aspects of the coexistence and intertwining of the lives of humans and animals in different environments, situations and for different purposes – such as issues of human encroachment into different (protected) environments, the development of human habitats at the expense of animal and plant habitats, animal husbandry for food, and the variability of anthropocentric views on animals in the past and present.

Interviewees in the film: Živa Gobbo (Focus, Association for Sustainable Development), Darja Kranjc (Škocjan Caves Regional Park), Špela Ledinek, PhD (INS ZRC SAZU), Lucija Gartner (Gartner Tourist Farm), Miha Kozorog, PhD (EIKA, Faculty of Arts)

The event was suitable for the general public, university students and secondary schools.

For visits by secondary schools, registration was required by email at sarah.lunacek@ff.uni-lj.si.

Coordinator: Ana Sarah Lumen Brunaček, PhD, Faculty of Arts
