The United States Embassy and its partners including Unesco Bangkok jointly present and support the National Geographic Photo Ark exhibition, One Man’s Quest to Document the World’s Animals. This is part of the embassy’s campaign to highlight U.S.-Thai collaboration on wildlife conservation efforts. The exhibition, organized and travelled by the National Geographic Society, showcases the captivating and visually striking work of renowned National Geographic photographer and Explorer, Joel Sartore.
Founded by Sartore in 2006, the National Geographic Photo Ark is an ambitious project dedicated to documenting every species living in the world’s zoos, aquariums, and wildlife sanctuaries. The project aims to inspire people to care for and protect these animals for future generations.
“The National Geographic Photo Ark is a visually powerful and compelling initiative that seeks to photograph endangered species before it’s too late. In addition to creating an archival record for posterity, this project serves as a hopeful platform for conservation and highlights the efforts of individuals and organizations working to preserve species worldwide,” said the embassy.
The “One Man’s Quest to Document the World’s Animals” exhibition features some of Sartore’s most captivating images, offering visitors a unique opportunity to come face-to-face with animals from the National Geographic Photo Ark, including some that are endemic to Thailand and Southeast Asia. The exhibition will educate visitors about the project, its mission, and conservation efforts while engaging audiences of all ages through free educational materials and activities.
The Photo Ark is showing for the first time in Thailand. It’s being held at Living Hall, 3rd Floor, Siam Paragon, and will run until July 29, 2024.
