Over the years, many different influences have made our earth what it is today. Forces of nature have changed them and created rivers, lakes and mountains.

The first life on earth came about at least 3.8 billion years ago. Seen from space, our earth appears as a beautiful blue pearl. But our planet has its limits. Biodiversity is dwindling, the climate is heating up, destructive hurricanes, scorching summer heat, mild winters and melting glaciers are increasing.
