Photos that changed the world

Iconic images, like Earth from space, catalyze environmental movements by highlighting our planet's fragility and the need for action.

Photos revealing humanity's impact, from war to environmental crimes, compel global outrage and inspire policy changes and activism.

Powerful visuals, transcending words, challenge our beliefs and responsibilities, urging us to confront issues rather than look away.
