Description

The lush and unique photography on this book represents National Geographic’s Photo Ark, an immense initiative and lifelong project by photographer Joel Sartore to make portraits of the world’s animals—especially those which might be endangered. His powerful message, conveyed with humor, compassion, and art: to know these animals is to save them.

Sartore is circling the globe, visiting zoos and flora and fauna rescue centers to create studio portraits of 12,000 species, with an emphasis on those facing extinction. Wiht a goal of photographing each animal in captivity on this planet, he has photographed more than 6,000 already and now, way to a multi-year partnership with National Geographic, he would possibly reach his goal. This book showcases his animal portraits: from tiny to mammoth, from the Florida grasshopper sparrow to the greater one-horned rhinoceros. Paired with the eloquent prose of veteran flora and fauna creator Douglas Chadwick, and an inspiring foreword from Harrison Ford, this book presents a thought-provoking argument for saving all of the species of our planet.
