Photographer spends 2 yrs. capturing endangered animals on film

[packman]

For most of us, endangered animals are a far-away mystery. British photographer Tim Flach, however, has spent the last 2 years braving their habitats and documenting their fragile existences. The resulting body of work, Endangered, provides us with an intimate and rare view into the beautiful lives of Earth's most threatened creatures, and reminds us of everything we should be afraid to lose.

From species we're all familiar with (polar bear, snow leopard, cheetah) to exotic beasts we'd only imagine in fantasy films (saiga, Philippine eagle, olm salamander), Flach presents a wide spectrum of biodiversity with Endangered, and sheds light on the unique challenges each animal faces in order to survive. Some have had their numbers cut down by habitat destruction. Others endure more gruesome ordeals, such as hunting, poaching, and being sold into the black market

5. Sixty Minutes last Sunday

had a wonderful show about Joel Sartore who is documenting all the world's animals for National Geographic. 8000 so far. I got his book The Photo Ark for my great grandchildren who have never met an animal, insect or bird they didn't love. It is a glorious showcase conveying a powerful message with humor, compassion and art. He writes "half of all the earth's species could go extinct by 2100 and I cannot just stand idly by." Sartore hopes his pictures will inspire people to action to protect the planet's biodiversity.
