Mens en Milieu - lead

Shelter from a thunderstorm on the African savannah. Get into a jeepney with horses on the bonnet or imagine sailing on a boat in a tropical rain forest. This presentation shows how people live in the (sub)tropics, in both a natural environment and manmade surroundings.

Four ecosystems

The presentation features four ecosystems: a tropical rain forest (Amazon), the Savannah (Mali), a marine climate (Thailand and Philippines) and a city.

“If we don’t change direction we shall end up where we’re heading now.”
