"El mundo se esta volviendo más visual, es un hecho. Nadie tenía ni idea de hasta donde íbamos a llegar, sin embargo hoy todo queda registrado" nos decía el fotógrafo <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com.es/fotografia/entrevista-michael-yamashita-fotografo-national-geographic_11805">Michael Yamashita en una entrevista que le hacíamos el año pasado.</a> La imagen se ha convertido en una forma de comunicación, y una de sus máximas expresiones las encontramos en la red social Instagram.Yamashita nos contaba que "fue precisamente National Geographic cuando empezó en Instragram, que pidió a los fotógrafos que contribuyéramos con nuestras fotografías… en su momento nadie se quiso quedar atrás y de hecho en la actualidad es una plataforma muy competitiva.

Today’s eclipse was a #SuperBlueBloodMoon and reached totality around 6:30 am, giving a fair amount of blue hour light to see the mountains as well. The mountains seen here are #MountMeeker and Colorado’s northern most 14,000 foot mountain, #LongsPeak.</a>Una publicación compartida de <a href="https://www.instagram.com/natgeo/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading"> National Geographic</a> (@natgeo) el 31 Ene, 2018 a las 7:42 PST <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bgi0YZVDKSL/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading"></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bgi0YZVDKSL/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading">Ver esta publicación en Instagram</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bgi0YZVDKSL/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading">Photo by @amivitale With a heavy heart, I share this news and hope that Sudan's legacy will awaken us to protect this magnificent and fragile planet. Yesterday, wildlife ranger Joseph Wachira, 26 comforted Sudan, the last living male Northern White Rhino left on this planet moments before he passed away. Sudan lived a long, healthy life at the conservancy after he was brought to Kenya from @safari_park_dvur_kralov in the #Czechrepublic in 2009. He died surrounded by people who loved him at @olpejeta after suffering from age-related complications that led to degenerative changes in muscles and bones combined with extensive skin wounds. Sudan has been an inspirational figure for many across the world. Thousands have trooped to Ol Pejeta to see him and he has helped raise awareness for rhino conservation. The two female northern white rhinos left on the planet are his direct descendants. Research into new Assisted Reproductive Techniques for large mammals is underway due to him. The impact that this special animal has had on conservation is simply incredible. And there is still hope in the future that the subspecies might be restored through IVF. In 2009, I had the privilege of following this gentle hulking creature on his journey from the snowy Dvur Krulov zoo in the Czech Republic to the warm plains of Kenya, when he was transported with three of his fellow Northern White Rhinos in a last ditch effort to save the subspecies. It was believed that the air, water, and food, not to mention room to roam, might stimulate them to breed—and the offspring would then be used to repopulate Africa.…
