In the last fifty years humankind has changed the planet’s environment more profoundly than in its entire previous history. Earth’s ecosystem is deteriorating rapidly and its limits of tolerance are evident everywhere, in our air, climate, oceans freshwater, forests farmlands and wild spaces.

Arthus-Bertrand’s work offers a summary in words and images that is intended to make every individual aware that we alone are personally responsible for the future of the Earth. For this reason, Arthus-Bertrand created the non profit association GoodPlanet.org, which, alongside the book, has launched educational projects, poster exhibitions, video interviews and other strategic programmes to alert people to the planet’s woes and spread awareness of our responsibility to change it.
