FINAL DAYS OF NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTO EXHIBITION AT OKC ZOO Collections from Joel Sartore’s “Photo Ark” and “Uncertain Futures” spotlight urgent need for conservation

Guests visiting the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden have until Sunday, December 16, to experience National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore’s exhibition on display at the Patricia and Byron J. Gambulos ZooZeum before it moves to its next destination. Joel Sartore has spent much of his career racing the clock, attempting to document every species living in the world’s zoos and wildlife sanctuaries before it’s too late. Since 2006, Sartore has photographed 8,485 species, with another 4,000 remaining to complete his Photo Ark. National Geographic is showcasing this important project through multiple platforms, including a traveling exhibition, “National Geographic Photo Ark,” at the Zoo. The National Geographic Photo Ark is an ambitious project committed to inspiring people not just to care, but also to protect these animals for future generations. Organized by the National Geographic Society and Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, the exhibition is free with Zoo admission. ZooZeum hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Complementing the 38-piece Photo Ark exhibit and adding a local component to the showcase is another collection of images captured by Sartore at the Oklahoma City Zoo. Called “Uncertain Futures,” this exhibit of 14 photographs of OKC Zoo animals was taken in October 2014 by Sartore. There will be a total of 52 pieces on display at the

ZooZeum as part of the combined exhibit. Guests will be able to purchase copies of Sartore’s book “The Photo Ark: One Man’s Quest to Document the World’s Animals” at the Safari Gift Shop in the OKC Zoo entry plaza (limited quantity available). In addition to creating an archival record for generations to come, this project is a hopeful platform for conservation and shines a light on individuals and organizations working to preserve species around the world. In what will be the largest single archive of studio-quality photographs of biodiversity ever, the National Geographic Photo Ark continues to move toward its goal of documenting these 12,000 species, thanks in part to Sartore’s enduring relationships with many of the world’s zoos and aquariums. These iconic portraits have captured the imagination of people around the world and have even been projected on the Empire State Building and St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The “National Geographic Photo Ark” exhibition will highlight Sartore's most compelling images and provide OKC Zoo visitors with the unique opportunity to come face to face with animals from the National Geographic Photo Ark. Sartore has worked in more than 250 zoos, aquariums and animal rescue centers around the world. National Geographic Photo Ark fans are also invited to join the conversation on social media with #SaveTogether and learn more about how to get involved with the project at NatGeoPhotoArk.
