Reserve - Human intervention reshapes a fragile ecosystem after the predator disappears

The wolf, once a dominant predator in the land, has vanished, leaving behind only faint traces of its existence—old traps, imported predator urine, and the efforts of local hunters. This insightful documentary explores the delicate balance that remains in its absence, focusing on the coexistence between humans and scavengers, birds, and other species.

Through thoughtful narration and striking imagery, the film constructs a story about an anthropogenic ecosystem, revealing how human intervention continues to shape and alter nature.
