Wildlife conservation can become a poetic act, but also a risky job. Veterinarian and poet Mar\u00eda S\u00e1nchez writes about the rural setting, at the same time working with native breeds at risk of extinction. For his part, biologist Luis Arranz knows what it is to place his life on the line to protect the last wild animals living on nature reserves in the heart of Africa. The two of them will be talking about the poetics, the importance, the need and the risk involved in caring for and living with so-called “companion species”. During the session the short film <\/span>Alas\/Tierra<\/span><\/i>, by Maddi Barber, will be screened.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some photos of a passing sunset. A book of frogs held by hands. A woman\u2019s face, reading. A wildcat among several hands. A passing sunrise. Based on the poem \u201cEsta es la mano que cuida\u201d (\u201cThis is the hand that cares\u201d), by veterinarian and writer Maria Sanchez, this film is constructed as a diptych on the learning processes of our relationship with other species.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
