For more than 15 years across 50 countries, Joel Sartore has been on a quest to create a photo archive of global biodiversity for his Photo Ark project. In “Portraits of Hope,” Sartore will present stunning images from around the world and chronicle his effort to create portraits of more than 12,000 species of birds, fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. In addition to presenting on his work and photographic adventures, Sartore will reflect on his mission for the Photo Ark to serve as an important record of each animal’s existence and a powerful testament to the importance of saving them. *Allies receive free admission, exclusive access to a breakout session with Joel Sartore, and a signed copy of his new book.
