Animal Geography. A very short introduction

This article provides a brief overview of animal geography. Animal geography represents a sub-discipline of human geography, which in the last twenty- five years has been contributing to the development of a wider field of knowledge known as human-animal studies (see the reports in Progress in Hu- man Geography by Buller 2014, 2015 and 2016; Hovorka 2017, 2018 and 2019; Gibbs 2020a and 2020b). This is a field with a strong interdisciplinary character, which has emerged in Anglo-American academic debates to ‘give voice’ to those non-human animals that the social sciences and humanities have long confined to the margins of their research.
