Footnotes

Included in National Geographic's "Wildlife: The Best Photographs" collection 2007.


Looking as if they've trekked from the far corners of the earth, a line of elephants trudges across the barren flats of Kenya's Amboseli National Park to reach a water hole. Seasonal rains will eventually turn the plains green with fresh grass. Poaching and habitat loss have reduced the elephant populations to these scattered herds in protected areas.


This stunning image, captured by Thomas D. Mangelsen, reflects not only the resilience of Africa's elephants but also the urgency of conservation efforts. Mangelsen and Dr. Jane Goodall, long-time friends and dedicated conservation partners, share a deep commitment to preserving wildlife and natural habitats, a mission that resonates powerfully through this breathtaking photograph.
