What: Annual Luncheon The keynote speaker at this year’s Annual Member Luncheon will be world-renowned wildlife photographer Joel Sartore. Two decades 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. Sartore is committed to conservation, especially in the Great Plains where he has lived his whole life. In his time with National Geographic, he has focused on endangered species and land use issues. He is co-founder of the Grassland Foundation, and a founding member of the International League of Conservation Photographers. Sartore’s book, Rare: Portraits of America's Endangered Species, started as a personal project and grew into a three-year effort to document everything from grizzly bears to endangered flies. Rare includes portraits of some of the country's most endangered creatures. Some of them are likely to go extinct without people ever knowing they existed. This thought-provoking picture book shows the reality of the Earth’s vanishing biodiversity and what we stand to lose if we don't act now.
