Photo Ark: Animals of Earth Immersive Event - Main Image

"I’m on a mission to document all species around the world, no matter their size, in order to show a world worth saving." ⎯ Joel Sartore National Geographic presents “Photo Ark: Animals of Earth," a powerful wildlife photography exhibition by renowned National Geographic Explorer, photographer and founder of the Photo Ark, Joel Sartore. This visually stunning showcase highlights global biodiversity through striking portraits of animals — many of them endangered species — photographed in Sartore’s intimate, signature style that captures eye contact on black and white backgrounds and eliminates size comparisons, giving a mouse the same importance as an elephant. The exhibition reveals the unique beauty of each animal, showcasing their personalities, vulnerability and wonder. Through the Photo Ark's compelling imagery, Animals of Earth utilizes immersive projections and interactives to bring visitors face-to-face with the urgency of protecting all life on our planet.
