  1. This shot illustrates an extreme example of deforestation just at the edge of Gombe National Park.

  2. This shot was taken atop a cliff looking west across Misitu Ugalla. The Jane Goodall Institute has initiated a program to help conserve this vast yet unprotected area which is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna including chimpanzees, elephants, buffalo, and leopard.

  3. The main feature of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is the Ngorongoro Crater, which is the world's largest unbroken, unflooded volcanic caldera. The Crater, which formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some two to three million years ago, is 610 m (2,001 ft) deep and its floor covers 260 km² (10...

  4. Before my arrival to Gombe in 1992, chimpanzees used to use the area in the bottom half of this image. Due to habitat destruction immediately around the park there are no longer chimpanzees using this area.

  5. This shot was taken from fourth floor of the Clove Hotel in Zanzibar's Stone Town. Staying in Stone Town is a bit like going back in time. While tourism has had it's impact, the back streets, the Mosques, the Hindu Temples, the Persian baths, and the fantastic array of doors have changed very little.

  7. Typical scene of baboons on the beach in Gombe National Park, Tanznaia. These baboons have been studied by researchers and Tanzanian field assistants for decades, and are very habituated to the presence of humans.

  8. The focus of this shot was of a single woodland tree. The Gombe woodlands are open and park-like, very different from the vine entangle valleys below.

  9. This shot was taken from the top of the rift escarpment looking west into the park. The elevation changes from 2500' to 4500' from the lake to the point the shot was taken.

  10. This is the Furtwängler Glacier's western remnant. The split was complete by 2007, although the process was underway for at least 5 years and perhaps for decades. A few historical photos can be seen here: www.geo.umass.edu/climate/tanzania/furtwangler.html Will open in a new tab or window A 2012 view of the eastern sections can be seen here...
