Pro photographer Joel Sartore set out on a mission to photograph some of the most endangered animals in the U.S., and he’s succeeded wildly with the publication of Rare: Portraits of America’s Endangered Species.

He’s also released this gorgeous hi-def video documenting the months-long shoot. Check it out:
