Arresting Spill Wildlife Images

Everyone should check out the new issue of National Geographic, which includes an article about habitat restoration in Louisiana. The article features arresting images of wildlife by Joel Sartore, who is a rare wildlife photographer.


You can see more of Sartore's work at his website: http://www.joelsartore.com/

However, the most dramatic images of spill effected wildlife were taken by Charlie Riedel, who was responsible for the images that ran in the Associated Press in June. You can see them at The Boston Globe website.
