Conservation
Conservation is not a cause Bernardo Sambra supports — it is the work he does every day. Through two organizations built from the ground up, he works to protect the ecosystems he has spent a lifetime photographing.
The Living Oceans
Twenty years ago, Bernardo founded The Living Oceans on a simple conviction: that people protect what they love, and they love what they can see. Since 2004, the organization has brought the ocean — its beauty, its fragility, its urgency — to audiences around the world through photography, books, and exhibitions.
"We can only protect what we know."
— Bernardo SambraAmanatari
The Amazon is not disappearing because no one cares — it is disappearing because the people who live there have not been given the tools to protect it. Amanatari changes that. Founded in 2022 under the Hochschild Group, it works with indigenous communities to make the standing forest more valuable alive than destroyed.
