Description of Pictures: Tatra Mountains: Life on the Edge
Co-Presented in partnership with EKOTOP Film Festival and with the support of the Trust for Mutual Understanding.
The Tatra mountain range looms high above the clouds like an island – the smallest high mountain group on earth. A unique environment with unique challenges: some species have thrived here since the ice age, like shipwrecked sailors. Chamois and marmots have even evolved particular subspecies. The chamois are well equipped for the harsh climate, in spite of the snowstorms that can even break out in the middle of summer. The marmots, meanwhile, spend more than half the year asleep during daytime. Other animals, like red deer and bears, repopulated the region after the end of the ice age. Since then, they’ve tried to master the various challenges of this mountainous world. How have they managed? The second part of the series focuses on exactly this question, and shows how different species have adapted to life at great heights.
Q&A – Erik Balaz; Peter Lim and Tereza Gemeranova, International Festival of Sustainable Development Films – Ekotopfilm.
Introductions were provided by Maryanne Culpepper and Peter Kmec, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary from the Slovak Republic.
