Conservation of wildlife & habitats

The stunning images by the famous National Geographic photographer.

Published with the prestigious collaboration of National Geographic, the book presents ninety photographs that take the reader on a spectacular journey around the world from Oceania to the Arctic, documenting indigenous life, landscapes, and animal species in their natural habitat. From the Papuans in New Guinea to the Inuit in Greenland, the Canadian forests to the glaciers of the Antarctic peninsula, the flamingos of Mexico to polar bears to reach the thrilling underwater images of ocean life, these photographs recount the majesty of the natural world, the richness of biodiversity, the balance of ecosystems, and ""a greater wisdom"" of human communities who have lived in harmony with the environment for thousands of years, expression of an ancient culture to be preserved.

Throughout her extensive career as a photographer, author, thought leader, and activist, Cristina Mittermeier has traveled to every corner of the globe, documenting the beauty of our planet and its inhabitants' diverse cultures and traditions. Her work bears witness to traditions, rituals, and knowledge passed down through generations, and invites us to reflect on ""a greater wisdom"", inspiring an ethical vision of our relationship with nature and reminding us that humans are not isolated creatures but members of a broader web of life.
