Our world is changing & so should we: A story to promote positive change | Roie Galitz | TEDxGlasgow

Описание: Picture this – it’s a nice chilly evening, let’s say 40 years from now. You’re sitting next to your grandchild, reading her favourite bedtime story. Her big eyes shine with delight as you tell the tale of huge magnificent creatures who once roamed our world.

When you imagine that day, that story, do you think of woolly mammoths? Maybe dinosaurs? Probably not polar bears, gorillas and rhinos though, right? Well then, it’s time to rethink. Because that might well be our future. And it’s not so far down the road as you may think.

In this thrilling talk, Roie Galitz, a renowned wildlife photographer and Greenpeace ambassador, will share the stories of endangered animals, as seen through his lens. Join him on exciting adventures across our amazing planet, discovering the secrets behind some of his greatest shots. Through his inspiring stories, Roie hopes to share the importance of environmental awareness today, at a point when we are still able to action change. Israeli born photographer Roie Galitz’s greatest passions in life, nature and photography, take him into the wild. As an adventurous wildlife photographer, he travels in extreme conditions to some of the most remote places on earth, capturing images of rarely viewed animals in their natural habitats.

He believes that a unique perspective, in photography and life, can actualize any vision. His lifelong mission is to take pictures that have never taken before, through which he is able to raise awareness to increasingly pressing environmental issues.

Roie is an award-winning wildlife photographer and a Greenpeace ambassador to the Arctic and the Antarctic. For over a decade, he has been exploring and documenting our planet’s wildlife. His photographs get great exposure worldwide, millions of views and frequent appearances in the media (most recently featured in the BBC’s Snow Bears film, aired Christmas 2017). He has been showcased in international exhibitions and featured in exclusive magazines, and this year, he will share his exciting adventures here at TEDxGlasgow.
