Meer over het boek

Armed conflicts, climate change, pollution, natural disasters, and uncontrolled urban development pose serious threats to the environment and natural ecosystems of our planet. Global awareness of these issues has led to significant efforts to preserve natural wonders that are irreplaceable treasures for humanity. While many individuals are dedicated to protecting these treasures, numerous sites have already been irreparably damaged. The book features a wealth of photographs showcasing the planet's jewels, including archaeological finds in the Bamiyan Valley, the natural wealth of national parks in the Democratic Republic of Congo threatened by civil war and poaching, and ancient monuments in the Kathmandu Valley that suffered during the 2015 earthquake. It also focuses on Icelandic fjords that are changing due to climate change. The book addresses rare wonders endangered by natural phenomena and human activity, striving to send a hopeful message for the future. It calls for the protection of the natural environment and cultural heritage left to us by our ancestors.
