Where Goualougo Triangle, Republic of Congo, Africa
When 2002
Photographer Michael Nichols

"Under pressure from humans, the [chimpanzee] has suffered population decline, habitat fragmentation, and in some places local extinction. Although there were probably more than a million chimps in Africa a century ago, no more than about 200,000 (and possibly far fewer) survive today. ... [This] friendly female earned the name 'Jane' [after primatologist Jane Goodall]."

—From "Jane Goodall in the Wild," April 2003, National Geographic magazine
