It takes around min to read this article.

As part of the celebrations of the anniversary of UNESCO's Man & Biosphere Programme, we have interviewed Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado about issues we've been raising for the past 50 years: how can we, humans, reconnect with nature aiming for a harmonious co-existence in the living world?

I planted 3 million trees. They have re-built me.

Sebastião Salgado

Sebastião Ribeiro Salgado Júnior was born in 1944, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A multi-awared photographer, he is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, having registered some of the world's bloodiest conflicts, particularly in Rwanda and former Yugoslavia.

Overwhelmed by what he saw, he returned to Brazil to find the farm of his childhood almost completely deforested. Alongside with his wife and partners from all over the world, he embarked on a journey to restore the ecosystem in the region. His Instituto Terra became an advanced post of the Mata Atlântica Biosphere Reserve in 2009.

Acknowledgements:

This mini documentary was made with images from Instituto Terra and Ripple Effects, as well as pictures from Sebastião Salgado. We would also like to warmly thank Fernando Eichenberg (Studio Sebastião Salgado, Paris).
