De-extinction science can help rare rhinos
THE COVER This month’s cover image features western chimpanzees at Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Sierra Leone. “The chimps were moving a lot, so capturing such an intimate shot required time and patience,” says Italian-born wildlife photographer Renato Granieri. He took the image with a Nikon D4S,500mm, 1/800th, f5.6, ISO1600.
