Building the Photo Ark | Joel Sartore

It just takes one to build an Ark.

National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore is a man on a mission: to photograph every species in human care in the world. Fifteen years in and counting, he’s past the halfway point with over 12,000 species on board so far.

Go behind the scenes with Joel as he travels around the world to capture creatures, unlike anything you’ve ever seen before, including the most toxic, outrageous, colourful, and simply beautiful.
Things can go wrong, and often do, but getting up close and persona is what it is all about.
From hilarious to poignant, you’ll bet the inside scoop on favourites like pandas, tigers, and elephants, as well as animals that are on the very brink of extinction.
