Björn Persson, a wildlife photographer, has unveiled his latest publication, 'The Earth We Share: Extraordinary Photography of Our Vanishing Species,' released by Rizzoli. This hardcover edition, consisting of 208 pages, showcases numerous images of endangered wildlife captured in locations such as the African savanna, Antarctica, and the American West.
