These images are extracted from "The Earth From Above", a project of photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand , who has undertaken an aerial survey of the state of our planet at the end of the twentieth century based on colour photographs taken from helicopter or small aeroplane. Under the patronage of UNESCO, the project has sought to establish a unique photographic data bank of striking images on the natural state of the world and its transformations.
 National Committees for UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme and collaborating national institutions in a number of countries have co-operated with the photographer in opening individual biosphere reserves and other land and water areas to his camera. Samples of the work have been included in several large format, wide circulation books as well as in exhibitions, such as one in the Senat Museum and Luxembourg Gardens in Paris during the summer months of 2000.
