Susan Middleton is a distinguished nature photographer, whose images moved E.O. Wilson to write, 'their kind of testimony may count as much toward conserving life as all the data and generalizations of science'. She is coauthor of four books on the world's natural heritage. Mary Ellen Hannibal is the author of Leaves & Pods (Abrams). Her writing has appeared in publications such as the San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire and Elle. She is the founder of Evolve 2009.
