    “Kids are more and more aware and the internet has given them more information….The next generation will be better than us taking care of the environment.” – Rosa Asca, Lima, Peru

    About the Photographer

    Susana Raab (b. 1968, Peru)
    Lima’s Pacific coastline is comprised of a group of beaches known as La Costa Verde, all as diverse in representation as the Peruvian people. I have long walked these beaches in search of the Peruvian identity. Facebook and the phone are the great unifiers and distributors of information for all but the oldest and most traditional. Climate change is a real concern and Peruvians are interested in saving their glaciers and sources of water in the Andes.
