Since 2006, National Geographic Explorer Joel Sartore has been traveling the globe in a bid to document as many species as humanly possible. Now, he has approached a number that once seemed unthinkable—17,000 species lovingly coaxed into posing for his camera. Usually, Sartore and his team select one species to highlight at each milestone, but with birds-of-paradise, he says, “it was just impossible for us to choose.” There are about 40 species in the birds-of-paradise family, and all are native to either Papua New Guinea, its surrounding islands, or Australia. Learn more about them at the link in bio. #PhotoArk Photos and videos by @joelsartore

This community shares not just resources, but also responsibility, heritage, and purpose. In a world speeding forward, Karácsonyfalva offers a rare glimpse of what it means to live in balance—with the land, and with each other. Uncover more of the region's traditions at the link in bio.

Photo by @beverlyjoubert | Photographing elephants is always captivating. It's not just their size or presence. It's how they move through the world: aware, expressive, and deeply connected to one another. This playful moment in Kenya's Maasai Mara offers a glimpse into the intricate bonds that define elephant society. Beyond the jostling and trunk tangles, these mixed-age youngsters are learning what it means to be part of something larger than themselves. Elephants are among the most social animals on Earth, and life in the herd calls for more than instinct; it requires memory, emotional awareness, and constant learning. New research shows that from birth to adulthood, elephant brains nearly triple in size—and that expansion is driven by the demands of living in such a richly social environment. Calves grow up immersed in a network of relationships, shaped by the guidance of matriarchs and the transfer of knowledge across generations. Every interaction—playful or purposeful—helps them navigate a life built on memory, cooperation, and connection.
