Grounded: A Reflection on the Use of Life and Land

A life-long Nebraskan, photographer Joel Sartore has covered everything from the remote Amazon rainforest to beer-drinking, mountain-racing firefighters in the United Kingdom. In addition to his celebrated work for National Geographic, which often focuses on conservation, endangered species, and land use issues, Sartore's work has been featured in Time, Life, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, and numerous books. Sartore and his career have been the subject of several national broadcasts, including "National Geographic Explorer," the "NBC Nightly News," NPR's "Weekend Edition," and "CBS Sunday Morning," as well as an hour-long PBS documentary, At Close Range.
