Joel Sartore is an award-winning photographer who has travelled the world documenting wildlife for more than 25 years. In 2006, he launched the Photo Ark project to document 12,000 species in captivity before they disappear. By using plain black or white backdrops, Sartore emphasizes the uniqueness of each animal, regardless of size or fame. He hopes to inspire people to fall in love with these animals and join in conservation efforts to protect them. Sartore has already photographed around 8,500 species, and his lecture will include a slide show of his most compelling images. This lecture is part of the annual Wallace Stegner Lecture Series organized by Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST).
