Cristina Mittermeier: A Greater Wisdom - Bog

The urgency of preserving wilde nature and people living in the most remote places on Earth in the stunning images by the renowned National Geographic photographer."Images can help us understand the urgency many photographers feel to protect wild places. My work is about building a greater awareness of the responsibility of what it means to be human. It is about understanding that the history of every living thing that has ever existed on this planet also lives within us. It is about the ethical imperative—the urgent reminder that we are linked to all other species on this planet and that we have a duty to act as the keepers of our fellow life forms."- Cristina Mittermeier Hailed as one of the most influential conservation photographers of our time, Cristina Mittermeier has dedicated her entire life to protecting the world's oceans - inspiring millions of people to do the same.
