"Bjørnen krydser ikke vejen. Vejen krydser skoven." Spændende hovedtale af Susan Boonman-Berson på International Anthrozoology Conference i Ungarn. Om "Co-existance with Wildlife". Viden om, hvordan dyr lærer, er vigtig, og de har udviklet en program for lederskab på området.
The picture is a screenshop of the speakers final slide, including a photo of three bears walking in the wood/across a road, and a QR-code.

Frygt er virkelig. Men ikke det samme som fare
Politikerne skal lytte til folks frygt. Men de skal også være garanter for, at frygten ikke løber af med os – specielt hvis den ikke er særligt begrundet. Som f.eks. i debatten om ulven i Danmark.
