🌎 Joel Sartore Photography advocates for good zoos and emphasises their crucial role in species conservation! Yesterday, we had the honour to welcome Joel, renowned photographer for National Geographic magazine and talented story teller, at the EAZA Annual Conference conservation plenary. He explained the journey that led him to start The Photo Ark and how passionate he became about animal conservation. 💚 His gorgeous pictures and videos aim to (re)connect humans with nature. They certainly wow-ed all of the delegates in Zoo Leipzig GmbH. Thank you for being such a friendly and passionate ambassador of the work of good zoos and aquariums, such as EAZA ones.👏 and congrats to the Vietnamazing team for joining the Photo Ark. #savingspeciestogether #wildlife #conservation #zoo #aquarium #eazacommunity #vietnamazing
