The author of 43 books, David Suzuki is recognized as a world leader in sustainable ecology. Dr. Suzuki co-founded the David Suzuki Foundation in 1990 to find ways for society to live in balance with the natural world that sustains us.
Joel Sartore
A life-long Nebraskan, Joel Sartore brings a sense of humor and a midwestern work ethic to all of his National Geographic Magazine photography assignments. More than 20 years of experience (more than 15 with the National Geographic Society) have allowed him to cover everything from the remote Amazon rain forest to beer-drinking, mountain-racing firefighters in the United Kingdom. Joel’s travels have allowed him to see Conservation International’s work in action from Equatorial Guinea to Ecuador.
