Climate :
Intensive farming, greenhouse gases, drying up of the Sahara region, melting of the ice caps, endemic dÊforestation, massive fires in the south of Europe and the United States, lowering of water ressources, volcanic eruptions‌Thoses disasters have an obvious impact on climate change of our planet. Furthermore while polluting, humans also act directly on those phenomenons while at the same time using their knowledge and science in the fight against them. Hemis proposes an insight on those issues through a selection of strong and genuine images.
