30 HEROES FOR THE PLANET

“30 Héros pour la planète” | Claire Le Nestour & Emmanuelle Halgand | Paulsen Jeunesse | 135pp | 19 x 25 cm

For girls and boys who dream of changing the world.

Sebastião Salgado has brought the land of his childhood back to life by replanting trees, Dian Fossey has dedicated herself to protecting the great apes, Damien Castera and Mathieu Crépe have snowboarded down the slopes to follow the melting glaciers, Florent Ladeyn has taken over the family inn and offers ultra-local cuisine, Julia ‘Butterfly’ Hill has spent 738 days at the top of a sequoia threatened by lumberjacks…

From the royal gardens of Versailles to the semi-deserts of Burkina Faso, from the great American parks to the plains of Mongolia, our 30 heroes have decided to put their lives at the service of nature. These men and women have saved animal species, prevented multinationals from doing harm, and warned of the dangers of global warming. Between decisive actions and courageous human adventures, here are 30 women and men who, in their own way, are changing the world.
