The lush and unique photography in this book represents National
Geographic's Photo Ark, a major initiative and lifelong project by
photographer Joel Sartore to make portraits of the world's
animals-especially those that are 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
wildlife rescue centers to create studio portraits of 12,000
species, with an emphasis on those facing extinction. With a goal
of photographing every animal in captivity in the world, he has
photographed more than 6,000 already and now, thanks to a
multi-year partnership with National Geographic, he may 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
wildlife writer Douglas Chadwick, and an inspiring foreword from
Harrison Ford, this book presents a thought-provoking argument for
saving all the species of our planet.
