Story & Experience
On the Global Earth Exchange day this year we celebrated for the wolves, their return and their survival in Switzerland at the wolves rocket. We played wolves and howled like them, we renewed the memorial writings and made paw prints with coals.
As it is well known, there are a lot of Swiss people who don’t like the return of these wonderful wild animals. They would like to shoot them because they are killing sheeps. But we, we want to support them and give them strength to survive and be part of our environment. We want to express that everyone can live in respect and learn from each other.
