Some Sunday Morning Worship (Or, "Bish? See this hand right here? Well, it's gonna slap Sunday clean out of you in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...")

A young, female Diana monkey (Cercopithecus diana) at the Omaha Zoo. Diana Monkey, Omaha Zoo. by Joel Sartore

Sartore photographed this female Diana monkey (Cercopithecus diana) at the Omaha Zoo as part of his Photo Ark project, through which he is documenting thousands of rare species.

"Half of all the species on Earth could be headed irreversibly toward extinction by 2100. Not if I can help it," Sartore says. "That's the idea behind the Photo Ark: getting the public to look these creatures in the eye, then care enough to save them while there's still time."

Learn more about the Photo Ark and see more pictures from the project.

The Countdown...

It's projected that African forest elephants will be extinct in 20 years...

Please sign this petition to crack down on elephant murders.

After all, if we're anything more than fellow citizens of the planet with them, than possibly stewards. But, certainly not owners...
