As we inexorably alter habitats, wild animals are pushing their way back into our cultural landscapes or are being deliberately reintroduced. This challenges us to rethink traditional boundaries and find ways to achieve peaceful, respectful coexistence on equal terms. Under the title **“Between Humans and the Wilderness: The Ecology of Human-Animal Coexistence,”** on September 25 and 26 we will explore the tension between anthropogenic influence, reintroduction, and natural return. Through interdisciplinary insights, we invite you to join us for an engaging discussion about the future of human-animal interaction. This year’s program sheds light on the multifaceted relationships with our animal neighbors from various perspectives: We will explore the highly emotional ecology and politics surrounding the return of the wolf and, using the beaver as an example, ask how we can move from confrontation to genuine coexistence. But we’re not just looking at large mammals: we’ll also explore the fascinating, often threatened world of ants in our immediate vicinity. Finally, we’ll explore whether the majestic Ural owl can one day become a permanent part of the Almtal’s avifauna again through targeted reintroduction projects. Join the conversation with us, share your thoughts, and discover new ways for humans and nature to coexist sustainably.
