Joel Sartore

"I've never had anybody [at National Geographic] tell me what to do. There's never an agenda, I mean, never. They just let me go out and be a journalist. As long as I'm a responsible person and respect that, I'm okay, and that's the way they expect us to be good, truth-telling journalists, and just to show what we see." Joel Sartore is a photographer, filmmaker, 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 a way that draws attention to a world worth saving. He is the founder of The Photo Ark, a multiyear documentary project to bring awareness to endangered species, habitats, and the biodiversity necessary for healthy ecosystems. Joel has contributed to numerous magazines, books, and national broadcasts including National Geographic Explorer, NBC Nightly News , NPR , PBS , and CBS Sunday Morning . He is always happy to return home to Lincoln, Nebraska to his wife and their three children.
