Towards ethics of coexistence: rethinking relationship with other species • Forum FIFDH 2024 • EN

The anthropocentric perspective, placing humans at the top of the natural hierarchy, results in intensive resource exploitation and neglect of biodiversity. Let's dare to step aside and question the pretended human superiority over other species.

The ecological crisis is forcing us to look at our relationship with the environment: how can we organise a festival that focuses on human rights without looking at our relationship with living beings, particularly animal species? In the face of uncertainty and disequilibrium, we need to find ways of politicising and reinvigorating our relationship with life. We urgently need to take a step to one side to deconstruct our beliefs and lifestyles, and question the notion of human superiority over other species.
