For The New Yorker, Jonathan Torgovnik followed Eric Goode as he worked to save Madagascar’s Plowshare Tortoise:
“It’s often described as the world’s rarest tortoise, and it reportedly fetches huge prices on the illegal wildlife market, for as much as $100,000 in Europe and America.”
Please see still images and Jonathan’s reflections on the shoot here.
“The whole experience was surreal,” Torgovnik said. “To travel to the other side of the world to go and look for this rare tortoise… I’m in Madagascar, having a beer at the end of the day, and these lemurs are jumping overhead. It was just incredible.”
