Sentinel Species

People have long observed animals for signs of threatening hazards or evidence of impending environmental threats. These species, called sentinel species, are of great importance not only in “perceiving and bringing” the first signs and symptoms of the “climate crisis”, but also in “anticipating” it as sentinels. ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬Sentinel Species Walking Encounter reverses the sentinel roles of humans and birds. Humans will enact the role of sentinels for the endangered bird species living in the area. Choosing Prespa as a location for the proposed Performance/Installation is no coincidence as Prespa is an environmentally protected area.
