The Morbihan sentries

There’s one thing we tend to forget: humans might be responsible for the damage done to our environment, but they are also the ones standing up to defend it. All over the world, at a time of urgency when there has never been greater need, men and women are taking action to halt the damage being done to our planet. Morbihan is no exception. One summer, Eric Garault, a portrait photographer and reporter, set out to meet these farmers, activists, beekeepers, herders, sailors, island wardens and forest rangers who are fighting to preserve the Morbihan area. The people who, each in their own way, are helping to maintain and protect the unique natural heritage of this part of Brittany. They are all different, yet all unconventional. Their diverse backgrounds command respect and admiration, and inspire others to follow them on their quest to save the Earth.
