Synopsis

It has become tight for bears, whales or rhinos. There is hardly a corner of the earth where man has not left his footprint. But during the Corona lockdowns, four billion people are supposed to stay at home to contain COVID19. How does wild-life react to the sudden silence? A unique oppor-tunity for researchers worldwide! They collect movement data and analyse observations on all continents. Rhinos move, orcas make themselves heard. Brown bears, deer and crows also provide surprising insights into animal behavior in times of the pandemic.
