Summary:
A 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 intends to photograph every animal in captivity in the
world
. He 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. 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, this book presents a thought-provoking argument for saving all the species of our planet.
