Luo Hong
Luo Hong is a man passionate about the environment and Man’s relationship with wildlife. Armed with his camera, he travels to Africa capturing images of wildlife in the hopes of raising awareness on our connected and shared destinies. He was named “Climate Hero” by the United Nations Environment Program. The story of Luo Hong is the stuff that movies are made of. Born in 1967, Luo Hong at the age of 16, dropped out of school to start a photography business, taking pictures and selling landscape images of rural Sichuan.

This act of business conscience made Holiland Bakery the “last man standing” after the scare to follow a short while after when bakeries across&n bsp;China were shut down after the crack down on sanitation....
