NG Live! The Photographers: Brian Skerry and Mattias Klum
PRODUCT DETAILS
National Geographic Live! events feature entertaining and visually spectacular presentations by the world's leading explorers, scientists, photographers, and naturalists. Now available on DVD and enhanced by award-winning images, this volume showcases the dynamic live presentations by leading photographers Brian Skerry and Mattias Klum.
Underwater photographer Brian Skerry has covered a diverse range of stories, from the harp seal's struggle to survive in frozen waters to the alarming decrease in the world's fisheries. For Crucial Waters, Skerry photographed the lush tropical wonderland of Kingman Reef in the South Pacific, and documented the plight of the right whalethreatened by heavy shipping along the coastal waters it frequents.
One of the most highly regarded natural history photographers, Mattias Klum, has a special passion for Borneo, where he has spent 20 years producing magazine articles, books, and films. For Borneo: Paradise Under Siege, Klum returned to Borneo to document the rampant destruction that has already claimed 75 percent of Borneo's lowland rain forest and threatens its reclusive Penan tribe along with orangutans and pygmy elephants. His exposé of rampant logging and the burgeoning oil palm plantations are a call for us to examine our appetite for consumer goods. Don't miss this powerful and disturbing vision of what might be the Borneo rain forest's last stand.
