Renowned conservation photographer and SeaLegacy co-founder Cristina Mittermeier -- partner of the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative -- is releasing a new book called"Hope" this November.“It’s like a wildfire is raging under the ocean, and it is invisible to most people. I feel like my job is to raise the alarm and to keep saying, ‘We’re running out of time,’ ” says Cristina Mittermeier, considered one of the world’s most influential conservation photographers.
“For those of us who spend time on the front lines of biodiversity laws and climate, it is looking pretty dire,” Mittermeier tells Alexa.Despite that decidedly not optimistic prognosis, she has titled her latest book “Hope.” Its debut will be followed by an exhibition at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland next year.
The couple founded the not-for-profit SeaLegacy, whose mission is described as “bringing together filmmakers, photographers, marine and climate experts, indigenous leaders and policymakers from around the world to build engagement and protect our oceans.” Two years ago, Mittermeier and Nicklen, who both studied marine biology and have been recognized as National Geographic’s Adventurers of the Year, also became partners with the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative.
