Abstract
The issue of animals in high-risk situations is prominent in a world increasingly disrupted by socio-environmental disasters caused by big companies' activities and climate change. This paper focuses on the consequences for domestic and wild fauna caused by a colossal disaster in Mariana,
Brazil, in 2015. I propose that disasters open a contact zone between humans and nonhuman animals. They bring insight into the connections of different living beings that share land, water and air. They establish a human-nonhuman border-crossing experience. Compensating programmes must consider
a holistic dimension when evaluating the damage to be repaired, as all living beings and things are intertwined.
期刊介绍：
The half-yearly journal Global Environment: A Journal of History and Natural and Social Sciences acts as a forum and echo chamber for ongoing studies on the environment and world history, with special focus on modern and contemporary topics. Our intent is to gather and stimulate scholarship that, despite a diversity of approaches and themes, shares an environmental perspective on world history in its various facets, including economic development, social relations, production government, and international relations. One of the journal’s main commitments is to bring together different areas of expertise in both the natural and the social sciences to facilitate a common language and a common perspective in the study of history. This commitment is fulfilled by way of peer-reviewed research articles and also by interviews and other special features. Global Environment strives to transcend the western-centric and ‘developist’ bias that has dominated international environmental historiography so far and to favour the emergence of spatially and culturally diversified points of view. It seeks to replace the notion of ‘hierarchy’ with those of ‘relationship’ and ‘exchange’ – between continents, states, regions, cities, central zones and peripheral areas – in studying the construction or destruction of environments and ecosystems.
