Fulvio Eccardi
For me, photography is a way to show the most astonishing aspects of the natural world and to tell, with a series of pictures, how people get and transform the raw material that is consumed daily. Bahia Magdalena, Baja California, © Fulvio Eccardi |
Through the lens of his camera, Italian biologist Fulvio Eccardi has
focused the world's attention on burning ecological issues. With
curiosity and perseverance, Fulvio documents both natural beauty and the
complex relationship between humans and the environment. His research on
small-scale fishing in the Sea of Cortés brought to light the perilous
overfishing of sharks. While educating the public with his pictures and
ingenious problem-solving, Fulvio is working with native peoples to
preserve rainforest through sustainable harvests. During the last five
years he has been researching and photographing coffee production in
more than fifteen countries for a forthcoming book.
