In the Cotovindou logging concession, deep down in the forest, the Congolese workers for the Chinese timber company Sicofor are not feed by their employers.
So the day they log the trees and the night they hunt the forest for bush meat they feed on. As a consequence the impact on the world’s second rain forest is even more devastating. Here the catch is a small antelope (blue duiker, cephalophus monticola). Its eyes shine at night, which makes it a relatively easy prey for the hunters that attach a flashlight to their heads.
Congo, Conkouati National Park, 2007

OXPECKER’S PUZZLE (South Africa)
Photo and caption by Benjamin  Bronselaer/Nature/National Geographic Photo Contest
 “I’ve always been intrigued by  the markings of giraffes—how they vary between individuals and how they  look like pieces of a puzzle, cracked mud or even tectonic plates in my  scientific mind. I’ve tried many times to capture them but it was never  right. Here, this oxpecker in a tight crop, lost on the abstract  surface and framed by the legs of the larger animal finally seems to  work.”
