HOPE

A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM RENOWNED CONSERVATION PHOTOGRAPHER CRISTINA MITTERMEIER From ocean shores and Arctic glaciers to some of the most remote indigenous communities in the world, HOPE explores humanity's relationship with the planet and possibilities for a mindful, sustainable future. A celebration of the beauty of our planet's biodiversity and a tribute to indigenous wisdom and stewardship, this artistic manifesto weaves photographer and marine biologist Cristina Mittermeier's personal narrative with meaningful visual stories from a journey spanning over 130 countries, across every continent. Through radiant photography and candid prose, HOPE explores the beauty of an interconnected world: the majesty of a whale surfacing to catch its breath, the wise power of Madagascar's baobabs, and the extraordinary resilience of people like the Kayapó fighting to save the Amazon rainforest. This impressive, bilingual English-French volume is divided into six sections-Indigenous Wisdom, Oceans of Hope, Icy Realms, The After Life, Heirs to the Earth, Interconnected-and features a foreword by legendary American actor and environmental activist Robert Redford. Part of the proceeds of this book will directly benefit the people, communities and projects featured in its pages. "Hope does not need to be merely a passive wish, it can be an active force to propel us forward, fueling our determination to defy the odds and carve our own destiny."-Robert Redford
