The Today Show features the Photo Ark

Joel Sartore was featured on the Today Show to announce that ten different Photo Ark images will be featured on multiple covers of National Geographic Magazine’s April issue. A first in NGM’s history, the issue will go on sale worldwide in late March.

Also appearing on the show was John Chapo, director of the Lincoln Children’s Zoo, where the Photo Ark began more than ten years ago. Mr. Chapo brought along several LCZ animals, including a serval and the armadillo that is actually featured on one of the covers.
