No one can look at these sensitive portraits of the incredible animal beings and not be amazed and inspired to do all in our power to preserve them--all of them, all the complex tapestry of life--for our children and theirs. I can think of no other book with such a compelling message: We must each do all that we can to preserve these incredible beings--all of them. And we must act now, or it will be too late for most of them.--<i><b>Jane Goodall</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Award-winning photographer and regular contributor to<i> National Geographic</i> magazine, Joel Sartore is the founder of the National Geographic Photo Ark, a 25-year documentary project to fight global extinctions by photographing every animal species in human care.
