I think this is a very important topic to talk about. Next to talking about our environment and helping to clean the earth and save it, we must not forget the animals.
I found this video on NBC.com Nightly News titles New View on endangered species.
Joe Satori is a photographer and in a way he is also playing the similar role of Noah. Being the more modern day Noah of taking photograph's of every animals (two of the same species, boy and girl) instead of building an ark. Satori feels that it is important to get pictures and document their information before it becomes too late for them and for the future. A quote from Satori "These things have value and we shouldn't be throwing them away-- we are throwing away the ark" This project of his is called the Biodiversity Project, documenting animals and even plants.
This is a short video (about 2 minutes) but it is a powerful one and to me, it shows that there are people that are speaking for the animals and trying to help save them from going extinction. I would like it to see Ringling's Photography majors do something like this, even the other majors like Illustration can do something to get other people to look at these animals in a new way.
