EARTHJUSTICE LAUNCHES "VISIONS OF THE ARCTIC" CAMPAIGN WITH FLORIAN SCHULZ
SPRING 2010
Florian teamed up with Earthjustice this year to launch a visual campaing in support of the Alaskan Arctic. Florian will be speaking at different locations to share his images and stories with the general public, and spread the word about this unique place.
The Arctic is facing a major threat: oil and gas exploration. The Visions of the Arctic campaing aims to show that the arctic is not a white flat nothingness, nor a barren wasteland, like several politicians have labeled it. It is a land teaming with life, specially in the summer months. To see some of Florian's images of the arctic in the summer click here.
