For as long as I can remember I have been interested in the natural world and environment, as a child I was an avid bird watcher, a hobby I still pursue to this day. Later on in life my other hobby of photography developed into a full time profession.
<p>The next step is to print 500 of the best photographs in an art photographic book entitled “Images from a Warming Planet”. Jonathon Porritt has kindly written the foreword for the book, which I plan to self-publish. To this end I have launched a crowd funding campaign on Kickstarter to raise the vital funds to enable me to print the book. I truly believe that this book will have a real impact on alerting the world to what is already happening out there as a result of climate change, and importantly, what we can all do to avert its worst impacts.</p>
<p>The campaign runs for just 30 days. People’s pledged money will only be taken If the target of £50,000 is reached. I launched the campaign on 1st June, it runs to the 30th June. Already I have been overwhelmed by peoples kindness. Following a TV appearance in the UK about the project, I was contacted by a lady who said she wanted to give me a donation. I gave her my address and a week later a card arrived in the post with a cheque for £20,000</p>
<p>Thanks for considering supporting this. My hope is that this project may prevent more people suffering the future horrendous consequences of climate change.</p>
"A documentary needs to tell a story and communicate at an emotional level. The moment is also right for youth globally to tell their own stories, ( including) the global south - and be heard, because they are the ones that suffer the most from climate change", states Lucia Grenna, Program Manager at Connect4Climate about the launch of #Film4Climate Global Video Competition during Cannes Film Festival 2016.
