His aerial odyssey gives us a grand look at one of the most beautiful places on earth, yet one of the most threatened. Haas's images show not only the pristine side of the continent but also the human footprint as it becomes more visible on Africa's fragile, finely-balanced Eden. This photographic journey is festooned with earth's bounty, a panoply of our planet's last untouched expanses, and, though human intrusion laps at their edge, these wild places still enthrall.
