It’s the Santa Cruz long-toed salamander’s time to shine as it marks the 16,000th species to be documented in photographer Joel Sartore's Photo Ark project. This never-before-seen shot comes as the endangered salamander faces threats from climate change, habitat loss, agriculture, and more. Restricted to just two coastal counties south of San Francisco, scientists believe the subspecies’ entire range spans just 15 miles, end to end. But scientists have been working for years to save it from the brink of extinction, making this milestone a case for hope.
