Only protect

We are changing the global environment at a pace we can hardly credit. As a result, we are living through the biggest mass extinction of species since the dinosaurs - yet we go about our everyday business as if there is no crisis. Through images from some of the world's leading photographers, this issue of NI celebrates the beauty and diversity of our planet - as well as conveying the urgency of what we must do to protect it.
