The National Geographic Photo Ark

In an Australian-first, Melbourne Zoo will host the National Geographic Photo Ark from 1 July - 1 October, an exclusive exhibition using the power of photography to inspire people to save animals before it’s too late.

Nat Geo photographer Joel Sartore is pursuing the ambitious goal of photographing every species in the world's zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, to inspire action through education, and help save wildlife by supporting on-the-ground conservation projects.

Melbourne Zoo's new exhibition will feature over 50 of Sartore’s most compelling images, many taken at Melbourne Zoo and Healesville Sanctuary.

The National Geographic Photo Ark exhibition will be open from 1 July - 1 October. Entry is included with general admission to Melbourne Zoo.

This event is made possible through the generous support of our Principle Donor the Bowness Family Foundation, and Major Partners Art Series Hotel Group and Nikon.
