Documentation of the planet’s diverse, majestic ecosystems from one the 21st century’s premier conservation photographers Hailed as one of the most influential conservation photographers of our time, the Mexican marine biologist–turned–photographer Cristina Mittermeier has dedicated her entire life to protecting the world’s oceans, inspiring millions of people to do the same in the process. In 2005, Mittermeier founded the prestigious International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP), providing a platform for photographers working on environmental issues. Throughout her career, Mittermeier has photographed marine life for top photojournalist publications, including National Geographic and Time . She has been honored with numerous awards such as the Smithsonian Conservation Photographer of the Year. Cristina Mittermeier: A Greater Wisdom compiles a selection of her vivid, reverential conservation photographs. The volume is loosely divided into three thematic sections: Indigenous peoples; landscapes and wildlife; oceanscapes and marine life. The images were captured in far-flung corners of the globe—from Valle dell’Omo, Ethiopia, to Qaanaaq, Greenland, Madagascar and Antarctica. The drastically divergent sceneries on display are united by a persistent ethos, that of “enoughness.” Two missives on this concept bookend the photobook, advocating responsibility and contentment in place of the rapacious greed corroding our planet’s ecosystems. Cristina Mittermeier was born in 1966 in Mexico City. She is a pioneering figure in the field of conservation photography with a focus on marine wildlife.
