Journalists point out that she is a(n) 50 in this male-dominated sport, but Pixner has tired of such 51 . “There’s not that much of a difference except that we 52 started a bit later.

(2024·陕西渭南·二模)Photographer Joe Sartore began making studio portraits (肖像) of 156 in 2006. The purpose is to 157 for future generations species that someday might be extinct. Sartore expects to have portraits of nearly 1,000 animals. Here are some 158 of his project, which is featured in this special issue on 159 wildlife.
In Sartore’s opinion, the Rabbs’ fringe-limbed tree frog (巴拿马树蛙) is one of the most 160 species he has photographed that have since gone 161 . A few years ago there was one left 162 , a male, at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. He had 163 it there times before it passed away. At those moments he thought to himself 164 , “Don’t mess this up.” It might be this animal’s only 165 to have its story told well.
Another memorable species Sartore photographed is the Florida grasshopper sparrow (草蜢沙鹀). It is endangered, but seems to be 166 back. It’s a small brown bird, and some people 167 it enough to try to save it. There are many 168 stories, such as the California condor, the Mexican gray wolf, sand so on. They all got down to perhaps two dozen or fewer individuals, but they’re all 169 now due to human efforts.
The situation is still 170 as a recent report says that as many as one million species are already on their 171 to extinction. It’s foolish to think that we can throw away so much 172 and not have it affect humanity in a(n) 173 way. Sartore’s goal is to get the 174 to care about the extinction crisis while there’s still 175 to save the planet.
