“We as humans are connected to animals through our origins. If we don’t value them, we might lose them, and lose part of ourselves in the process.”
Tim Flach is a world renowned-photographer who's been in the field for decades. For several years a lot of Flach's works have centered around animals. As his travel and work took him to various places around the globe, he saw a need to focus on animals that are under threat. The result of this body of work is a book titled Endangered.

He said after working with animals for so long, his work naturally started to focus on conservation. In fact, the subjects of Endangered largely came from convos he had with conservationists.
