In 2008, Mike Horn met with Paul Petzl to discuss an entirely different type of project than his prior adventures. He presented the idea of bringing youth from all nationalities with him across the planet to discover the beauty and fragility of our natural environment.
A different type of project, but just as ambitious. During all the years of solo exploration, Mike Horn gained a unique understanding of our planet across all latitudes. He witnessed scenes of excessive pollution, climate change, and lack of respect for our natural biosphere, but also saw the symbiosis that still exists between flora and fauna in areas far beyond the world’s cities.
