This week, I will be focusing on a conservation photographer, Joel Sartore. In recent years, he has developed a "Photo Ark" - a collection of portraits of captive animals. Almost all of these animals are either threatened, or endangered. Working with National Geographic, these portraits have made their way around the world and have gathered awareness for conservation. I attached a few samples of his work; these are three out of 9764 pictures taken for this project. Some of the animals he has photographed, have already gone extinct.
White-bellied PangolinThis animal is extremely endangered. It is hunted for its scales to be used in Chinese pharmaceuticals.
Spotted Jellyfish
Joel does not limit himself to terrestrial animals, but photographs all the animals he can. These jellies are currently in the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Rajah
Tigers are quickly disappearing due to habitat loss and conflict with humans.
