As a photojournalist for the past 25 years, Cristina Mittermeier’s work centers on the balance between human well-being and healthy ecosystems; the power to give life when it is respected, and the power to destroy when it is misused. With the Kayapó people in the Amazon, she documented a society that relied on their local waterway to survive. In British Columbia, she found First Nations protect- ing their sacred headwaters, and in Hawaii, a new community of indigenous peoples seeking to reclaim their connection to the sea. She learned that one concept bound these three disparate communities together: “Enoughness,” or taking only that which you need.

“My work is about building a greater awareness of the responsibility of what it means to be a human. It is about understanding that the history of every living thing that has ever existed on this planet also lives within us. It is about the ethical imperative—the urgent reminder that we are inextricably linked to all other species on this planet and that we have a duty to act as the keepers of our fellow life forms.” - Cristina Mittermeier
