The projects reflect on the human need to control and use nature, actions that have consequences that are difficult to control. This is a topic that is more relevant now than ever: The coronavirus has been traced to a so-called "wet market" in China, where live animals, including endangered species, are slaughtered on site and traded side by side with ordinary food products.

There is a lot of speculation about what the world will look like after the pandemic, and what changes will be made – both in terms of the environment and lifestyle. Or will we just fall back into old patterns?

In connection with the launch of the new National Geographic documentary Jane Goodall: The Hope, researcher Jane Goodall stated that the corona pandemic was caused by humanity's disregard for nature and lack of respect for animals. We must learn from past mistakes to prevent future disasters. The pandemic shows that we are much more vulnerable than we think.

We are (allegedly) living in an Anthropocene era, an era characterized by humans having left irrevocable marks on the environment and nature. The crises are global and the consequences are difficult to predict and limit. Changes in animal populations and climate also have enormous consequences for us humans. We need new hero images and new ways of thinking.
