The Nature Conservancy in North Carolina presents
National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark Founder Joel Sartore
April 29, 2023 at 4 p.m.
National Geographic Explorer and world-renowned photographer Joel Sartore started the National Geographic Photo Ark in an effort to document every species living in human care, inspire action through education, and help save wildlife by supporting on-the-ground conservation efforts. For more than 16 years, he’s traveled to zoos, aquariums, and wildlife sanctuaries around the world in his quest to create a photo archive of global diversity. No matter its size, each animal is treated with the same amount of affection and respect. The results are portraits that are not just stunningly beautiful, but intimate and moving. This speaker program will include a book signing and light refreshments.
