French photographer and journalist Yann Arthus-Betrand proves the power of the lens by capturing some of the most beautiful and haunting images on planet Earth. At TED he discusses the human impact on ecology and how the land seems to be paying for man’s mistakes. The images he shares with the audience are a blend of elusive beauty and destruction left behind by excessive use of natural resources. As Arthus-Bertrand takes his audience on a visual journey he is desperate for people to realize the gravity of the situation and work collectively to safeguard our environment. His Talk is a mix of passion and hard-core facts which makes it an endearing watch.
