Photos by Yann Arthus Bertrand

Yann Arthus-Bertrand was born on March 13, 1946 in Paris and is a photographer, journalist, reporter, businessman and environmentalist.

In 1994, under the sponsorship of UNESCO, Yann Arthus Bertrand undertook a substantive work on the state of the planet by offering to take photos of the most beautiful landscapes in the world seen from an helicopter. The project, called "Earth from heaven", with the credo: "Witnessing the beauty of the world and try to protect the Earth" this will give birth to the book Terre vue du Ciel which sold more than 3 million in 24 languages.

On 1 July 2005, Yann Arthus Bertrand founded the International Association of ecologist, "GoodPlanet" and implements "Action Carbone", a program to reduce the greenhouse gases generated by its own aerial photographs. This action supports projects on renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation.
