Since 1990 Yann Arthus-Bertrand has flown over one hundred countries around the world. Extraordinary aerial views of nature and descriptive texts invite all of us to reflect upon the our planet 19s evolution and its inhabitants 19 future.

In just 50 years mankind has modified Planet Earth 19s environment faster than in the whole history of humanity ! As Earth 19s ecosystem worsens, nature is expressing its violent anger : fresh water, oceans, forests, air, climate, arable land are all diminishing drastically.

We live a decisive moment - right now ! A worldwide governmental policy must establish without delay norms which will make it possible 1Cto meet present needs without compromising the needs of future generations 1D. We are personally responsible for the future of our Earth, and each of us has a role to play ; we are all able 13 have the duty - to take action.

Here 19s where we start.
