Seeking Sanctuary: What Human and Wildlife Migration Have in Common

Like other animal species, humans have been on the move since the beginning of our history. This session explores why and how human and other animal species move, and what we can learn from those patterns. Movements we explore include climate displacement and refugees, Indigenous ways of moving and living with land and water, and spiritual and social pilgrimages.
