Sebastião Salgado, a renowned Brazilian photographer, has passed away at the age of 81. He was known for his striking black-and-white photographs that documented the effects of heavy industry on the environment and highlighted the struggles of marginalized populations. Salgado's work took him to various parts of the world, including Rwanda, Guatemala, Indonesia, and Bangladesh, where he captured the beauty and harsh realities of human existence.

    1. Salgado didn't only use his eyes and his camera to portray people: he also used the fullness of his soul and heart.

    1. We can rebuild the planet that we destroyed, and we must.
    2. It's connected with my ideology... my human and political activity. It all goes together.
    3. We cannot build our future – the future of humanity – based only on technology.
    4. Why should the poor world be uglier than the rich world? The light here is the same as there. The dignity here is the same as there.
    5. But I don't want to live much longer. I've lived so much and seen so many things.
    6. We must look at our past; we must take into consideration anything that we did in our history. Human beings have a huge opportunity: the prehistory of humanity is in Amazonia now.

    1. Alongside his life partner, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, he sowed hope where there was devastation and brought to life the belief that environmental restoration is also a profound act of love for humanity.
    2. Sebastião was much more than one of the greatest photographers of our time.

    Instituto Terra
    1. We will keep honouring his legacy, cultivating the land, justice and beauty he so believed was possible to restore.
    2. His lense revealed the world and its contradictions; his life, (brought) the power of transformative action.
    3. It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Sebastião Salgado, our founder, mentor, and eternal source of inspiration.
