In an interview published by La Diaria, the directors of Hábitat, Manuela López and Exequiel Caldas, reflected on the creative process of the series and the vision that runs through it.
One of the central themes they mentioned was the need to "shift the anthropocentric gaze" that dominates modern society: "Shifting the gaze means making visible the other beings that are part of our planet." For the directors, it is essential to rescue the worldview of indigenous peoples and to see humans once again as part of their natural environment.
They also shared details of the filming process, which spanned over two years: from the search for the enigmatic urutaú —the "ghost bird"— to the filming of the black-headed vulture's chick, a scene they almost didn't manage to capture and which became one of the most emotional moments of the series.
The directors also mentioned the importance of collaborative work with park rangers, biologists and local communities, without whom —they say— they could not have achieved many of the most valuable sequences.
