[Music] All right, this'll work. Okay, we're ready for the cobra. [Music] He's running away from me. There we go, that's just the first one. I'm all worn out.

Okay, for the past 15 years, I've made a thousand trips to photograph over 10,000 species and subspecies for the photo arc. That was really, really good. It's a snapshot of life on Earth before these species disappear, not just to preserve them in a frame, but to get us to care about species while there's still time to save them. A lot of them are from the forests that have been hammered. It's a tragedy of epic proportions. We won't save what we don't love, and we won't fall in love if we don't connect.

You want to see who's that? [Music] I can't photograph this animal anywhere else. They are in the 25 most endangered permits in the world. Soda work really exists for animals like this. They're so small, they don't really exist in zoos, but they help make the world go around. [Music]

In the photo arc, every creature is the same size. That's the point. Big or small, they each have a role and a place on this planet. It's the toughest job I've ever had, but the one that matters most.
