Sharing the Land

Wolves were taken to the brink of extinction in the 70s. Today the species is recovering slowly returning to their ancestral territories. But the conflict between shepherds and wolves continues. Is coexistence possible?

In Spain shepherds are proving that coexistence between wolves and humans is possible.

The characters of this documentary film are telling, through their own voices, the story of a real coexistence with one of the great predators: wolves

Europe’s Wolves Are Back, Igniting Old Fears and New Tensions.
The WOLF is the most mythical, the most hated and the most beloved of all large carnivores.
