The National Geographic Photo Ark: Animals of Earth
About Exhibition
From a sleek serval to a delicate butterfly to a several-ton elephant, Joel Sartore photographs species around the world through the same lens: as worthy of your attention. Prepare to be delighted, surprised, and struck by the beauty and power of the animals on our planet.

The National Geographic Photo Ark: Animals of Earth brings the project to live around you through immersive room-sized projections and interactive experiences that transport you inside the world of Sartore's photographs.
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. Founded by Joel Sartore—National Geographic Explorer, photographer and 2018 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year—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.
The National Geographic Photo Ark: Animals of Earth is an exhibition designed and created by the National Geographic Society and Moment Factory.
