My name is York Hovest. As an investigative photographer and National Geographic bestselling author I am working on projects, that deal with environmental protection, sustainability and the preservation of important cultures. Each expedition of these projects lasts 100 days and leads me to the most dangerous and lonely areas on earth. My intention is to portrait the beauty of nature, the people and their culture before they get wiped away by our modern worlds behaviour. It is up to us to change something by changing our habits.
My adventures with all their obstacles and difficulties are content of my multimedia-speeches. Photographs that show natures fragility but also the damage we are constantly causing on it. Threatened people, their cultures and ou most endangered ecosystems, which maybe do not exist anymore in a few years. yorkhovest.com/
