The lush and unique photography in this book represents National Geographic's Photo Ark, a major initiative and 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 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. With a goal of photographing every animal in captivity in the world, 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, and an inspiring foreword from Harrison Ford, this book presents a thought-provoking argument for saving all the species of our planet.

Title: A Magnificent Collection of Animals
Review: This is one of a series of photographic books of animals.The photographer, Joel Sartore, has taken up the task to photograph all of the animals of the world. Because of the many extinctions of animals he wanted to document before they are gone. It is an incredible task and the photographs are stunning. I believe that this book is the first in the series.it is a treasure. I plan on collecting the entire series. Just amazing.

Title: Amazing Photography
Review: Either of these Joel Satore books would make excellent gifts for kids and adults alike. Some of the animals will be or are on endangered species lists already. It’s a privilege to see them. Price range is about $20 per book.

Title: great story and amazing pics of life
Review: This is a story about an effort to create a pictorial record of the animal life on Earth. Many species are endangered and many are simply elusive, making this work quite difficult . This book is certainly worth study and everyone will be inspired by the most spectacular images of life in all its splendor and variety. Nature has quite an imagination and the photographer has captured the essence very professionally. Note: There is a most excellent video covering this project which is put out by National Geographic. Well worth a watch.

Title: Exquisite book!!
Review: The initial concept for this book is genius! I purchased the book after watching a video about the work of the photographer, Joel Sartore, and his National Geographic crew in the process of amassing the photos for the Photo Ark project. (Google & learn more!) That short film prompted my purchase.The book is stunningly beautiful and thoroughly fascinating! Anyone of any age will enjoy thumbing through these magnificent photos and reading about the various species over and over again. In each picture, the colors are vivid and the details of each animal are crisp and clear. The up-close visual of each animal allows the reader to clearly see and be mesmerized by textures and tiny details that could otherwise be easily overlooked. I have a great appreciation for this body of work by photographer, Joel Sartore, and an even deeper sense of wonder and awe of the animal kingdom. I highly recommend this book as well as the companion volumes. They are terrific gifts in addition to being wonderfully entertaining.

Review: 5 stars for the book, 1 star for Amazon.The good: What an excellent book! The photography is perfect, and the information is well written. I do recommend every nature lover to purchase this book and display it on your coffee table. Let's hope that the awareness about all these species results in conservation and protection of our beautiful planet.the bad: Amazon has been shipping books since 1994. With this much experience, you'd expect them to know how to send products without damage. Nope... received the book twice, unprotected, in a thin brown cardboard sleeve. All corners and edges are dented, torn and bent. Both have been returned and I'm asking for a refund. A total waste of time, resources and transport cost.

Review: Wir sind über die Dokumentation auf NatGeo Wild auf die Arbeit von Joel Sartore aufmerksam geworden und uns war sofort klar: „Das Buch müssen wir haben“Aufgrund des enormen Preisunterschieds haben wir uns für die englische Version entschieden und unserer Tochter zum 1. Geburtstag geschenkt. Kinder und Eltern lieben das Buch und es ist viel im Einsatz. Auch den teilweise rabiaten Umgang hat es bisher gut weggesteckt.
