HONOURING LIFE

Meeting with Edmond Dounias, ethnobiologist, and Claude Barras, film director

This evening invites you to discover and celebrate the incredible complexity of the bonds forged between humans and nature, and the lifestyles that result from them. The focus will be on the preservation of the rainforest and the indigenous peoples of Borneo, who have developed a special relationship with this endangered ecosystem.
