Friend of the Houston Zoo and National Geographic Photographer Joel Sartore was recently interviewed on CNN to discuss his new book RARE: Portraits of America’s Endangered Species. View the interview at : http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/04/24/mears.sartore.qanda/
Rare: Portraits of America’s Endangered Species by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore features portraits of some of the country’s most endangered creatures from flies to wolves.
Some of them are likely to go extinct without people ever knowing they existed, and the goal of this book is to give them a voice. Part of a multi-year project documenting Earth’s vanishing biodiversity, Rare shows what we stand to lose if we don’t act now.
The good news is that there is still time, and this book highlights what each of us can do to save these unique creatures — and ultimately, ourselves. Photos of these species and many others — some never before published — highlight what we still have time to save.
