With this book, renowned photographer, marine biologist, and environmentalist Cristina Mittermeier aims to convey to the broadest possible audience, and with the determination that characterizes her, the HOPE she sees in the intimate link between human beings and their environment. Mitty believes that stunning visual storytelling is the key to unlocking critical action to help heal our ocean and save our planet: “I try to rebuild the bridges that create the vital psychological connection that simply says: humans cannot survive without nature—all of nature.” "HOPE may not be a plan or a strategy, but it is vital for our survival. I ferociously reject apathy, cynicism, and fear, and with tenacity and determination, I choose kindness and Hope. This book is my invitation for you to do the same. Always choose Hope." — Cristina MittermeierHinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Cristina Mittermeier has dedicated her entire professional life to championing the preservation of biodiversity and documenting the lives of indigenous peoples who struggle to continue to preserve their culture. Her commitment has been expressed for nearly 35 years through her photographic work, her involvement in environmental NGOs – since 2014 within her SeaLegacy NGO – and the writing of numerous works as author or co-author. Cristina’s work has been published in hundreds of publications, including National Geographic Magazine, McLean’s and TIME. Cristina was born in Mexico City in 1966 and grew up in nearby Cuernavaca, in the sunny state of Morelos. She graduated from the ITESM University in Mexico with a degree in Biochemical Engineering in Marine Sciences and later attended the Fine Art Photography program at the Corcoran College for the Arts in Washington, D.C. In 2005 she founded the prestigious International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP) to provide a platform for photographers working on environmental issues. In 2014, she co-founded Sea Legacy, a non-profit dedicated to protecting the ocean, with her partner, Canadian photographer Paul Nicklen. Her work makes a real distinction between simply photographing nature and what it means to use images to protect nature. As an environmental activist, she pioneered the concept and field of conservation photography. Robert Redford is the most famous American actor.
