A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM RENOWNED CONSERVATION PHOTOGRAPHER CRISTINA MITTERMEIER From ocean shores and Arctic glaciers to some of the most remote indigenous communities in the world, HOPE explores humanity’s relationship with the planet and possibilities for a mindful, sustainable future. This artistic manifesto is a celebration of the beauty of our planet’s biodiversity and a tribute to indigenous wisdom and stewardship, weaving photographer and marine biologist Cristina Mittermeier’s personal narrative with meaningful visual stories from a journey spanning over 130 countries, across every continent. Through her lens, Mittermeier explores the complex relationships that tie us to the natural world and to each other. Her images reflect a commitment to environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and social equity. 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 volume is divided into six sections—Indigenous Wisdom, Oceans of Hope, Icy Realms, The After Life, Heirs to the Earth, Interconnected—and features a foreword by legendary American actor and environmental activist Robert Redford. Part of the proceeds of this book will directly benefit the people, communities and projects featured in its pages. “Hope does not need to be merely a passive wish, it can be an active force to propel us forward, fueling our determination to defy the odds and carve our own destiny.”—Robert Redford

"Hope does not need to be merely a passive wish, it can be an active force to propel us forward, fueling our determination to defy the odds and carve our own destiny. It’s the flicker of possibility that dances in our hearts, reminding us that even when facing challenging circumstances, there exists the potential for inspiration and renewal. I am honored to join Cristina as she shares her remarkable and important work with the world." —Robert Redford, extract from the foreword "HOPE is a manifesto of human interrelationship with Nature and gives a gentle and optimistic perspective on the environmental issues." —Caterina De Biasio, Vogue

Author Biography

Cristina Goettsch Mittermeier (“Mitty”) is hailed as one of the most influential conservation photographers of our time, dedicating her entire life to protecting the world’s oceans and inspiring millions of people to do the same. Born in Mexico City, she earned a degree in biochemical engineering in marine sciences from the ITESM University in Mexico and attended the Fine Art Photography program at the Corcoran College for the Arts in Washington, D.C. She is the founder of the prestigious International League of Conservation Photographers and co-founded of the non-profit art, science, and conservation organization SeaLegacy, along with her partner, Canadian photographer Paul Nicklen. Mittermeier creates photography as a bridge between the seen and the unseen, the remote and the familiar, the fragile and the powerful. Her work is rooted in connection: between humans and nature, between communities and ecosystems, between the viewer and the world they may never have touched firsthand. Mittermeier's photography has been published in hundreds of prominent magazines, including National Geographic, TIME, and O. Her photographs have been exhibited in galleries around the world, including Hilton Asmus (Chicago), the Saatchi Gallery (London) and Eisele Gallery (Cincinnati). She has been honored with many notable awards, and she is a sought-after speaker. Mittermeier has three adult children, John, Michael, and Juliana, who have inherited their passion for nature from their mother. She lives on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada. Robert Redford is a legendary American actor known for classics such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Out of Africa, as well as more recent Marvel blockbusters. A Hollywood icon both on screen and off, he a producer, director, and founder of the Sundance Film Festival.   Redford is also a lover of the great outdoors and a champion for nature conservation and biodiversity campaigns. His thoughtful, passionate contribution to HOPE and support of Cristina Mittermeier and the SeaLegacy foundation are a testament to his lifelong dedication to environmental activism.
