With over 6 billion people to feed, how do we change our current practices to have a kinder impact on the Earth’s fragile ecosystem? This stunning visual tour of our world takes a closer look at the impact industrialized farming and wildlife conservation are having on individual people, communities and our environment. It presents real people finding tangible solutions to restoring our planet. Hosted by world famous photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand and inspired from his best-selling book, Earth From Above, it is a call-to-action for greater awareness, renewed intention, and management of our depleting resources – a global call for sustainable development.
