DESCRIPTION:Susan Middleton,  renowned wildlife and endangered species photographer, 
 comes to “Irreplaceable: Wildlife in a Warming World” traveling photo 
 exhibit, locally hosted at the San Francisco Public Library, on the evening 
 of November 18th to share her experiences and insights capturing the story 
 of imperiled plant and wildlife species threatened by climate change and 
 global warming.  \n\nMs. Middleton, a native of the Bay Area, has been 
 dedicated to the documentation and portraiture of rare and endangered 
 animals, plants, sites, and cultures for the past 30 years. Her works have 
 been featured in exhibits and published throughout the world. She’s also 
 co-authored four books, including Witness: Endangered Wildlife in North 
 America, and produced an Emmy Award winning National Geographic television 
 special broadcast on NBC and PBS. \n\nSusan’s latest work involves 
 photographing specimens  from the California Academy of Science’s 
 research collection for a new book, Evidence of Evolution, to be published 
 in Fall 2009, coinciding with the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin. The 
 photographs will serve as jumping off points for stories about evolution by 
 Mary Ellen Hannibal.  There currently is an exhibit of portraits taken by 
 Susan of endangered species on display at the California Academy of 
 Sciences, called Witness; and there will also be an exhibition of her 
 images from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, titled Archipelago, in 2009 
 at the Academy.\n\nAbout Irreplaceable: Wildlife in a Warming 
 World:\n"Irreplaceable: Wildlife in a Warming World" is a national campaign 
 and traveling photo exhibit that raises awareness about plants and animals 
 threatened by global warming. Featuring work by award-winning wildlife 
 conservation photographers, the 40-print exhibit brings the public 
 face-to-face with the wildlife most threatened by climate change - from the 
 Pacific salmon of California's coast and rivers to the American pika and 
 wolverine that live in the high peaks of Sierra Nevada mountain range.  A 
 collaboration of art, justice, science, and faith groups, the campaign aims 
 to inspire hope, wonder, and action through the beauty and power of images. 
  Included in the exhibit are species that Earthjustice, the nation's 
 leading public interest environmental law organization, are fighting to 
 protect from global warming.  The Irreplaceable campaign is presented by a 
 coalition of justice, faith, art and science groups represented by 
 Earthjustice, Noah Alliance , International League of Conservation 
 Photographers (ILCP), Conservation International's Center for Applied 
 Biodiversity Science (CABS) as well as local partners. \nFor information on
