Hope finished her degree in 2019 and has been a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre d’Etudes Biologiques de Chizé in France. Joining Hope for the film showing and Q&A session was Dr. Mathias Dezetter, Vice President of NGO Nature Conserv’Action.

The documentary highlights the collaboration between NGO Nature Conserv’Action and Peruvian community members to increase local knowledge about biodiversity, address human-wildlife conflicts, and seek sustainable solutions that benefit local communities and natural ecosystems.
