Joel Sartore's quest to photograph all the animal species under human care celebrates its 15th year with this glorious and heartwrenching collection of photographs.

In these vivid pages, Sartore singles out the species most likely to disappear in the next decades, as well as some that have already been lost.

With Sartore's distinctive portrait photography, he invites us to look closer--and to care more.
