Wonderful and occasionally eerie natural wonders captured in 50 stunning images

Every aspect of our daily lives, from the beds we wake up in to the buses we ride and the workplaces we visit, gives the impression that we inhabit a completely artificial world. Nonetheless, the natural world surrounds us constantly. The problem is that we construct such elaborate safe houses that we often lose sight of that fact. Well, let’s review that again.

We’re releasing this list on a special occasion. Almost exactly 50 years ago, on June 5-16, 1972, the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (also known as the Stockholm Conference) was held in Stockholm, Sweden. It was the UN’s first major conference on international environmental issues, and marked a turning point in the development of international policies.

When the participating 122 countries — 70 of them considered to be developing and poor — adopted the Stockholm Declaration, they essentially committed to 26 principles and an action plan that set in a multilateral environmental regime.

One of the overarching principles was that sovereignty should be subject to not causing harm to the natural world of other countries as well.

This was the first globally subscribed document that recognized the “interconnections between development, poverty and the environment.”

These principles were celebrated as a harbinger of “new behavior and responsibility which must govern their relationship in the environmental era.”

In a way, the planet’s environment and natural resources became a common resource with countries resetting their relationship with nature — from sovereignty over resources to shared responsibility for their sustainable uses.
