Bahar Dutt on ‘Shared Spaces’: Human beings are not outside nature
‘Shared Spaces’, a six-part documentary series hosted by Bahar Dutt and filmed by her partner, Emmy-nominated wildlife filmmaker Vijay Bedi, released on Animal Planet, explores exactly this: human-impacted wild spaces
Indian environmental journalist Bahar Dutt argues that human beings are not separate from nature, despite how this worldview often appears in Western environmental narratives. Her six-part documentary series Shared Spaces, which she co-hosts and co-produces with Emmy-nominated wildlife filmmaker Vijay Bedi, seeks to challenge this perspective by demonstrating the complex and multifaceted relationships between people and wildlife in India's diverse landscapes.
The series, airing on Animal Planet India, goes beyond the typical natural history format by exploring regions and stories that are often overlooked, such as the small and rarest creatures and community conservation initiatives. Through this approach, Shared Spaces aims to reshape viewers' understanding of shared spaces, highlighting the intricate balance between human populations and their impact on the environment.
