Hemeria Editions publishes Paradise, Inc. by Guillaume Bonn.
“In the heart of East Africa, where the wilderness meets civilization, a profound struggle unfolds between humanity and the untamed. It is a saga of coexistence, conflict and adaptation, set against the backdrop of Kenya’s Maasai land, where tradition is intertwined with modernity and the fate of wildlife hangs in the balance.” — Ezekiel Ole Katato
Born in Madagascar and raised in Kenya, Guillaume Bonn has dedicated over 20 years to exploring and chronicling wildlife conservation practices, vanishing landscapes, and the implementation of landscape and wildlife preservation in East Africa.
Paradise, Inc. is a conversation, an education, an honoring of those who are boots-on-the-ground working to holistically address the complexities, and a lament to what has been mismanaged or destroyed. The book is an invitation to the viewer to honestly look beyond the surface to understand the range of destructive ramifications of climate change, human growth and activities, and conservation efforts that do not include engagement with local and regional communities.
By acknowledging there is no simple or singular answer, Paradise, Inc. creates a platform through the visual imagery and questions posted in the writings, to consider various ways solutions could be presented and compound to, if not repair, at least stopgap further destruction, calling for both transparency and accountability.
