This thumbnail image for the upcoming livestream features a photograph of Lyle Lewis, a man in his 60s, sitting down in a bushland location looking up to his right. He is wearing light khakli plong pants and a light green jacket, holding binoculars, and wearing a wide-brimmed hat and glasses. He is looking up, where the title to his book, Racing To Extinction, is positioned, and part of the cover is shown, featuring an illustrated picture of the Earth as a globe.
