Inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888
Photograph by Michael Melford
A veteran photographer with 12 stories in National Geographic, Michael Melford has documented some of the world’s most pristine places. For a magazine story and new National Geographic book, Hidden Alaska, he traveled to Bristol Bay, Alaska—both an important salmon breeding ground and location of enormous copper and gold deposits—where residents are being forced to choose between incompatible futures.
Co-sponsored by Renewal Resources Foundation.
