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.

Choosing Prespa as a location for the proposed Performance/Installation is no coincidence as Prespa is an environmentally protected area.
