American nature photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen has traveled across every continent in the past five decades capturing wildlife in their natural and sometimes hostile habitat. Viewers will see vast, colorful, scenic vistas, animal families and striking close-ups in a large photo format that has used no digital manipulation.

Mangelsen intends to elevate public awareness about the global poaching crisis, animal extinction and circumstances of climate change through his stimulating imagery showing that all humans share the planet, even though many choose to never go into the wild.
