National Geographic Photo Ark

I watched a PBS presentation about the National Geographic Society's Photo Ark last night.   A composite of some of the pictures from the photo ark website is shown below:


The Photo Ark came about through the work of Joel Sartore recording beautiful photographs living creatures.  This work is supported by the National Geographic Society with the goal of saving threatened and endangered species.

The program was very interesting and reminded me that I like to take pictures of interesting organisms I encounter and learn about them.  I think we can all stand a little more connection to and understanding of how we affect and are affected by the world around us.
