Climate change, dwindling species diversity, scarce resources … There are plenty of burning issues that call ever louder for a rethink in how we live our lives. For NaturVision it has always been an important goal, through films and inspirational initiatives, to provide impetus for sustainable living – from creative cooking events to reduce food waste, conferences around the theme of “plastic-free”, and workshops for greener cities, all the way through to the 2019 Ludwigsburg Appeal, in which nature filmmakers publicly challenged policymakers to provide “More Space for Nature”.
As films play an important role in conveying the issue of rethinking to a wider public, in making it ‘visible’ and ‘liveable’, we have decided to bring them into the spotlight with a separate film award.
