Anthropozän 2

A central theme in the Anthropocene is the relationship between humans and other living things. Humans have taken on the role of the “dominant animal” and are influencing the habitat of animals around the world. Conclusion: species extinction and a massive loss of biodiversity. This selection of films is intended to raise awareness of the effects of that human hubris and provide incentives for a more sustainable and value-oriented way of life.
