The Natural World by Thomas Mangelsen

Wondrous and enchanting yet fragile and at risk , The Natural World as seen through the eyes of celebrated nature photographer Thomas Mangelsen. The segment chronicles ten distinct ecosystems that serve as islands of refuge not only for Earth's diversity of life but for the human spirit as well.

The man American Photo Magazine calls "One of the 100 Most Important People in Photography; Mangelsen takes the viewer on a visual odyssey, from the wildebeest migration on the plains of the Serengeti to the penguins of Antarctica, from the grizzlies of Alaska to the frozen landscape of the Hudson Bay polar bears. In striking panoramic photographs, story telling interviews and video, Mangelsen documents his subjects within the context of their varied environments. Excerpts from his journals detail his experiences in the field, and his words provide a window into the man behind the camera He chronicles fascinating and magical places which changed his life and his perspective on this Worlds shrinking wild places.
Dr. Jane Goodall focuses in on the impact of Mangelsen's work in helping others better understand and protect our wild places. Goodall writes: "It seems to me that he has the same kind of reverence for the spiritual essence of the wilderness as the Native American who believes that life on Earth is sacred, a gift from the Creator,"
