<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Celebrated National Geographic photojournalist Sartore continues his Photo Ark quest, photographing species around the world that are escaping extinction thanks to human efforts. The animals featured in these pages are either destined for extinction or already extinct in the wild but still alive today, thanks to dedication of a heroic group committed to their continued survival.l.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>This special edition comes with a free poster (the reverse side of the dust jacket) celebrating National Geographic's Photo Ark Initiative, now in its 15th year. Photographer Joel Sartore's lifelong project to make portraits of the world's endangered species conveys a powerful message: To know these animals is to save them.</b> <p/>Joel Sartore is committed to documenting every animal in captivity--with a focus on the growing list of endangered species and those facing extinction--circling the globe, visiting zoos and wildlife rescue centers to create studio portraits of 12,000 species. Paired with the eloquent prose of veteran wildlife writer Douglas Chadwick, and with a foreword by Harrison Ford, Sartore's animal portraits are riveting: from tiny to mammoth, from the Florida grasshopper sparrow to the greater one-horned rhinoceros. Now, with the accelerating pace of climate change and its devastating effect on wildlife habitat, his book presents a more urgent argument for saving all the species of our planet.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I can never unsee these faces, and I believe I am a better person because of it. Thank you, Joel Sartore, for using your passion and talent to give these animals a voice." -Amy's Booket List <p/> "There are nearly 300 portraits in this book. They are gorgeous. They will break your heart. But this book is SO IMPORTANT." -Bookapotamus <p/> "Any lover of nature or ardent conservationist would adore this book, its photos, and its message." -JulzReads <p/> "This book is both beautiful and heart rending. All of the animals in it are either already extinct in the wild or heading towards extinction. Just think about that. The man taking all of these magnificent pictures wants to at least make a record of each one's existence before it falls from the earth." -Broken Teepee <p/> <i>"It's a very sad thing, to read through this book, and see all the critters on the Endangered list, and on the Extinction lists." -The Pages In-Between</i> <p/> "I'm going to tell you that the photos in this book are absolutely stunning and you will find yourself compulsively turning the pages." -Stranded in Chaos <p/> "Joel Sartore has captured the soul of each animal on a simple black or white background, forcing the reader to look into the eyes of many of the animals that our actions are helping to decimate." -Stephanie's Book Reviews<br> <b> </b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>JOEL SARTORE is a photographer, author, and 30-year contributor to <i>National Geographic </i>magazine, named 2018 National Geographic Explorer of the Year.
