Animal Movers13 x 30’
Humans have explored and settled in Europe for thousands of years. But at its very heart, in the highest Alpine peaks, a world exists in parallel. The Alps are home to thousands of species of plants and animals, all of whom owe their survival to their remarkable capacity for evolution. They live in conditions that for other species – humans included – would be barely tolerable. For them, this is everyday life. Forget skiing and chalets: this is life at the Alpine limits.
