Joel Sartore Profile
Joel Sartore is a photographer, speaker, author, teacher, conservationist, National Geographic Fellow, and a regular contributor to National Geographic Magazine. His hallmarks are a sense of humor and a Midwestern work ethic.

Joel specializes in documenting endangered species and landscapes in order to show a world worth saving. He is the founder of The Photo Ark, a multi-year documentary project to save species and habitat.

In his words, "It is folly to think that we can destroy one species and ecosystem after another and not affect humanity. When we save species, we're actually saving ourselves."

Joel has written several books including RARE: Portraits of America's Endangered Species, Photographing Your Family, and Nebraska: Under a Big Red Sky. His most recent book is Let's Be Reasonable, a collection of essays from the CBS Sunday Morning show.

In addition to the work he has done for National Geographic, Joel has contributed to Audubon Magazine, Geo, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times and numerous book projects. Joel and his work have been the subjects of several national broadcasts including National Geographic's Explorer, the NBC Nightly News, NPR's Weekend Edition and an hour-long PBS documentary, At Close Range. He is also a contributor on the CBS Sunday Morning Show with Charles Osgood.

Joel is always happy to return from his travels around the world to his home in Lincoln, Nebraska where he lives with his wife Kathy and their three children.

Photo Ark

Photo Ark
It just takes one to build an Ark.

National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore is a man on a mission: To photograph every captive species on Earth for the ‘Photo Ark'. Nine years in and counting, he's nearing the halfway point with literally thousands of species on board so far.

Go behind the scenes with Joel as he travels around the world to capture creatures unlike anything you've ever seen before, including the most toxic, outrageous, colorful and simply beautiful. Things can go wrong, and often do, but getting up close and personal is what it's all about. From hilarious to poignant, you'll get the inside scoop on favorites like pandas, tigers and elephants, as well as animals that are on the very brink of extinction.

Through photos, video and amazing stories, you'll also see how each of us can make a real difference from this day forward. It is not too late, and there's never been a better time to save the world. Plus there's one more benefit:

"When we save species we're actually saving ourselves," Sartore said.

On Assignment for National Geographic
Experience what it's like to be on assignment for the world's greatest magazine in some of Earth's most amazing places. In 20 years and 30 stories, Joel Sartore has learned the hard way that there's a lot more to it than just visualizing, then capturing amazing places, wildlife and cultures—there's also a chance things can go terribly wrong, and they often do.

Producing each story requires not only imagining the end result months (and sometimes years) in advance, but bringing home results, no matter what. From the steamy Amazon to the high Arctic, Joel shares a lively, intimate and humorous look at what could be the best—and worst—job in the world as he plays expedition leader, psychologist, medic, accountant and coach, as well as photographer. It's all just another day at the office when you're on assignment for National Geographic.

Grounded: A Reflection on the Use of Life and Land
When his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore knew that it was time to stay home for a while. After traveling the world for 18 years, his wife's illness quickly forced him to focus on what really matters. He reconnected with his family and with why he takes pictures in the first place: to show people that wild places and creatures on Earth need and deserve protection. In each life there is the potential for a positive change, and realizing it often starts very simply.

Climate Change: Making Sense of Global Warming
From the decline of tropical amphibians to the melting of polar ice, Joel Sartore has seen and photographed the effects of global warming first hand. See how even a slightly warmer Earth is already having very serious consequences. Travel to Alaska's North Slope where a lack of sea ice threatens not only polar bears, but all of us as well. Learn what to expect when warming comes your way, whether or not it can be reversed, and what you can do to help.

Team Building: From Jungle to Boardroom

Team Building: From Jungle to Boardroom
There's no clocking out early when you're National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore. The far corners of earth aren't all that different from the conference room, the sales presentation or the cubicle; going the extra mile and building a team to deliver excellent results means the difference between ordinary and extraordinary. Nature doesn't give many second chances so attitude, teamwork and creativity are as essential as the camera in creating good pictures.
