The researchers were inspired by the devastation and recovery of Gorongosa, where wildlife has rebounded to 80 percent of their total pre-war abundance. They wanted to study whether conflict generally took the same toll on Africa's large animals and if those populations could possibly recover. Pictured above (clockwise from upper left): a guard at Gorongosa with an endangered pangolin; a white rhinoceros at Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park in South Africa; a Lichtenstein's wildebeest at Gorongosa; sable antelopes at Gorongosa; zebra in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi; hippopotamus at Gorongosa; Cape bushbuck at Gorongosa; and elephants at Amboseli National Park in Kenya.
