National Geographic The Photo Ark

“Joel’s work in bringing the beauty and personalities of endangered species to life is nothing short of heroic. His photos are a gift to future generations and illuminate the importance of protecting wildlife today and tomorrow. I’m still hoping he’ll photograph me—unfortunately, at my age, I’ll have to be clothed.” —Chevy Chase

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION

“This is one of the most scientifically important—and artistically brilliant—books ever. Joel Sartore is an ambassador extraordinaire for the beleaguered animals of our planet and should receive a Nobel Prize. 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 for our children and theirs.” — Jane Goodall

“We owe it to these animals, as they struggle for survival on a human-dominated planet, to look them in the eye. Joel Sartore’s awestruck and awe-inspiring photos make that an experience of deep heart and beauty.” — David Quammen

“Joel Sartore’s stunning images are powerful enough to make us all ask and answer the question: ‘What will I do?'” —Carl Safina
