At a time when the recurring human-wildlife conflict posing a serious issue in Wayanad the Hume Centre for Ecology and Wildlife Biology has launched its second edition of Tierra – an eco-theatre performance workshop – to orient children towards the animal-human community and foster positive relations.
The Tierra series is designed to inculcate the idea of sustainability among children through theatre, says T.R. Suma, head of food systems, Hume Centre, said.
The era of climate change or the Anthropocene era is characterised by the “dual nature” of human-nature relations. It is widening the gap between each individual from their immediate environment while they suffer from the issues of the imbalanced nature as calamities, Dr. Suma said. Such experiences are varied for different individuals in different cultural and economic spheres of the society, she said.
