In Endangered, the result of an extraordinary multiyear project to document the lives of threatened species, acclaimed photographer Tim Flach explores one of the most pressing issues of our time. Traveling around the world—to settings ranging from forest to savannah to the polar seas to the great coral reefs—Flach has constructed a powerful visual record of remarkable animals and ecosystems facing harsh challenges. Among them are primates coping with habitat loss, big cats in a losing battle with human settlements, elephants hunted for their ivory, and numer­ous bird species taken as pets. With eminent zoologist Jonathan Baillie providing insightful commentary on this ambitious project, Endangered unfolds as a series of vivid, interconnected stories that pose gripping moral dilemmas, unforgettably expressed by more than 180 of Flach’s incred­ible images.
 

Tim Flach’s previous books from Abrams include Equus (2008), Dogs (2010), and More than Human (2012). He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. He lives and works in London. Dr. Jonathan Baillie is Conservation Programmes Director at the Zoological Society of London and an editor of the 1996 IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals and the 2004 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: A Global Species Assessment.
