 Dr.
Michael Fay, member of the ICCF Advisory Board, is a world-renowned
conservationist with the Wildlife Conservation Society. In 2001, he
finished a 2,000-mile walk through Central Africa's forests to
survey trees, wildlife, and human impact on uninhabited forest
areas. This trek took 15 months and was called the "Megatransect."
Fay and his team took pictures and detailed notes of what they saw
and learned on their trip through the dense forests and remote
villages.

 In
June 2004, Fay returned to Africa to begin his "MegaFlyover." In
this yearlong survey across much of the African continent, Dr. Fay
traced the levels of human influence over Africa's key eco-regions
so as to develop long-term conservation strategies.
