HOPE - Cristina Mittermeier

From ocean coasts and Arctic glaciers to some of the world's most remote indigenous communities, photographer and marine biologist Cristina Mittermeier's coffee-table book "HOPE" explores humanity's relationship with the planet and the possibilities for a conscious, sustainable future.

This artistic manifesto is a celebration of the beauty of our planet's biodiversity and a tribute to the wisdom and stewardship of indigenous people. It interweaves the personal story of photographer and marine biologist Cristina Mittermeier with meaningful visual stories from a journey that spanned more than 130 countries and all continents. Through her lens, Mittermeier explores the complex relationships that connect us to nature and each other. Her images reflect a dedication to environmental conservation, cultural preservation and social equity.

"Hope need not be merely a passive wish, it can be an active force that propels us forward, that fuels our determination to defy the odds and determine our own destiny."- Robert Redford

With its 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 book is divided into six chapters - Indigenous Wisdom, Oceans of Hope, Icy Realms, The Afterlife, Heirs of the Earth, Interconnected - and includes a foreword by legendary American actor and environmentalist Robert Redford. A portion of the proceeds from this book directly benefit the people, communities and projects featured in its pages.
