When 1999
Photographer Michael K. Nichols

"[A] young Nile crocodile slips peacefully through a brackish estuary in a Gabon coastal reserve. Such refuges exist or have been proposed in all but one of the Megatransect forests. But time is short to protect wildlife: 'We could feel the doors closing behind us as we walked,' [J. Michael] Fay says."

—From "Megatransect III," August 2001, National Geographic magazine
