“POLAR WONDERS: Photographs from the End of the Earth” is a celebration of the beauty and diversity of some of the most remote and fragile ecosystems on our planet.

Photographer Daisy Gilardini fell in love with Antarctica during her first trip there in 1997 and since spent most of her time photographing the Polar Regions. In13 years of explorations, Daisy has witnessed fast changes occurring in the polar areas due to increasing global warming. Her work shines with empathy as she takes pictures of friends, not just animals.

Her passion for the natural world has resulted in a lifelong commitment to promote conservation measures and inspire others to respect and preserve our planet.

The Lookout News

February 8, 2011

By Melonie Magruder

February 8, 2011 – The Santa Monica Library and the Office of Sustainability and the Environment joined forces last week with the Consulate General of Switzerland to present a program illustrating the wild beauty of our planet and the threat to its survival from rising oceans due to climate change.

“Think Swiss-Brainstorm the Future” was introduced by Deputy Sustainability Officer Shannon Parry, who touted the city’s ongoing progressive stance as a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol.

“We believe there is a profound relation between art, commerce, education and environmental protection,” Parry said. “What you are about to see illustrates that.”

With that, Swiss photographer Daisy Gilardini took the stage, Power Point in hand, to discuss her many years of travel in some of the world’s coldest regions and the opportunity to see colonies of wildlife most people will never experience.

I comuni di Astano, Bedigliora, Croglio, Curio, Miglieglia, Novaggio, Pura

hanno il piacere di invitare la popolazione

alla conferenza di

DAISY GILARDINI

Giovedì 18 novembre 2010 alle ore 18.30

presso il Centro Giovanile di Curio – Ticino – Svizzera

“A SPASSO CON DAISY: il meglio di 21 anni in giro per il mondo”

e

“MERAVIGLIE POLARI: fotografie dagli estremi del mondo”

Daisy ha iniziato la carriera fotografica durante il suo primo viaggio in India, nel 1989, e da allora ha visitato più di 65 paesi con la macchina fotografica sempre in mano. Si è perdutamente innamorata dell’Antartide durante il suo primo viaggio nel 1997, e da allora ha assiduamente visitato le regioni polari. Una passione che è diventata la sua specializzazione.

In oltre 20 anni di esplorazioni, a bordo di navi da ricerca, rompighiaccio, barche a vela e via terra, ha partecipato a 13 spedizioni in Antartide, e 23 in Artico. L’avventura più estrema fu quella del 2006, quando prese parte a una spedizione al Polo Nord con gli sci.

Durante la serata Daisy condividerà le sue straordinarie avventure e incontri con pinguini, orsi polari e tigri e racconterà affascinanti aneddoti dietro i sui scatti.

Al termine della conferenza avrete la possibilità di acquistare il suo nuovo libro

“MERAVIGLIE POLARI: fotografie dagli estremi del mondo” celebra la bellezza e diversità di alcuni tra i più remoti e fragili ecosistemi del nostro pianeta. La fotografa Daisy Gilardini si è perdutamente innamorata dell’Antartide durante il suo primo viaggio nel 1997, e da allora ha assiduamente visitato le regioni polari. In 13 anni di esplorazione, Daisy ha osservato vasti cambiamenti dovuti al surriscaldamento terrestre in atto. Il suo lavoro trasmette una profonda comprensione ed empatia di un mondo animale profondamente toccato dallo scioglimento delle calotte polari. Il suo entusiasmo e la sua passione per la natura si sono tramutati in una missione personale per la tutela ambientale.
