Below is the Mission Statement taken from The Canary Project website.The Canary Project is compiling persuasive visual evidence of climate change and its potential for devastation. By photographing landscapes throughout the world that are currently undergoing dramatic transformation or are vulnerable to predicted changes, we convey the urgent reality of global warming. Our team of scientists, writers and artists work to present these images in ways that speak to diverse audiences and foster positive action.
In 2006 and 2007, project co-founder Susannah Sayler will be photographing 16 landscapes around the world. Sayler's locations, selected in consultation with leading climate-change scientists and journalists, show that global warming is: (1) already affecting the world in a variety of ways; (2) affecting every place on earth.
The Canary Project incorporates these images into an extensive outreach program that combines established scientific research, interpretive graphics and other media to reach a wide variety of people. These initiatives will continue beyond 2007.
Exhibitions + Outreach
In the second phase of the project, we will photograph solutions to the problem of global warming, such as sources of alternative energy, preparations for already predicted changes and various green products.
