Sy is honored to have her words beside photographer Joel Sartore’s iconic portraits in The Photo Ark: Animals of the Earth.
“The Photo Ark is more than just collection of stunning images; it’s lifeline for endangered creatures,” says National Geographic. “Joel Sartore’s mission is simple yet profound: to photograph every captive animal on the planet. Through his lens, he captures the essence of each species—their quirks, their beauty, their vulnerability. These portraits serve as powerful reminder of the importance of conservation and our responsibility to protect Earth’s biodiversity.”
And look at that billing on the cover: Sy’s name above Harrison’s Ford.
