Joel Sartore Releases The Book Photo Ark Insects

Founded by Sartore more than 16 years ago, the National Geographic Photo Ark is a multi-year effort to raise awareness of and find solutions to some of the most pressing issues affecting wildlife and their habitats. The project aims to document every species living in the world’s zoos, aquariums, and wildlife sanctuaries; inspire action through education; and help protect wildlife by supporting on-the-ground conservation efforts. His latest collection is Photo Ark Insects. When the pandemic hit, Sartore explored his very own Lincoln, Nebraska home – including his backyard. As a result, a book of bugs was born revealing more than 100+ species of insects, spiders, and related animals ―some exotic, but many common – all depicted in Sartore’s signature photography and entertaining text to explain the basics of insect bodies, lives, and behavior.
