Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a French photographer, journalist, reporter and environmentalist.
In this TED talk he talks about three of his projects, two of which are directly relevant to his work in the area of environment.
Earth from Above was a photography project aimed to conduct an aerial survey of the state of earth. Sponsored by UNESCO, it started in 1994. The team travelled to over 150 countries taking thousands of photographs, documentary in style yet stunning to look at. The product of the project was a book by the same title, a travelling exhibition and a DVD.
HOME is a movie that shows human impact on the environment. Full of unique aerial footage from over 50 countries, the movie seeks to inspire the viewers to work together to rebuild the earth we have collectively nearly destroyed.
