Photographed at
night with an infrared
camera, an elephant
chews on a Detarium
macro carpum fruit
as she guides her calf.
In 1987, elephants
typically needed to
search only 10 trees
to find one with ripe
fruit, but by 2018,
they had to check 50,
reflecting a nearly
81 percent decline
in the available fruit
in Lopé’s forests.
