Shorts Block 5: Living with Wildlife

IWFF Shorts Block 5: Living with Wildlife

In India, a country in the throes of human-wildlife conflict, a unique anomaly exists in the villages of the Charotar region, where people live in harmony with India’s largest freshwater predator (“Even So”). In the northern reaches of Manitoba sits the small town of Churchill, unique in that the human residents are outnumbered by polar bears (“Polar Bear Country”). In an urban backyard on Canada’s West Coast, a window salesman has created a living laboratory for investigating hummingbird behavior (“The Bird in My Backyard”). Living with wildlife can be enriching, thrilling, and dangerous. The “Living with Wildlife” shorts block collects just a few stories of human-wildlife relationships from around the world.
