| Images | Stripping for Conservation | In October 2007, a hundred Chinese volunteers posed naked for a photo-shoot to publicise environmental issues. Photographer He Yuanbo said his Love Life, Protect Water project showed how much China had changed. "Twenty years ago, I definitely would have been arrested for doing something like this in China. But now people are more or less starting to accept this kind of art form," he told the Chongqing Evening News. The volunteers first signed their names on a board, then crossed a rushing river at Kaiyang town, Guiyang province. "They helped each other cross the river, showing the greatness of the human spirit," said He. And on rocks alongside the river, the volunteers then posed naked for group pictures. | root | 59 |
