Nelson Mandela, 1918-2013: A Journalist's Appreciation

Nelson Mandela , 1918-2013: A Journalist's Appreciation National Geographic Editor in Chief Chris Johns remembers the African leader. A portrait of Nelson Mandela. Photograph by Chris Johns, National Geographic I met Nelson Mandela early in 2001 while working with writer Peter Godwin on a story about Peace Parks , wildlife reserves without borders. Arrangements for the meeting had taken a full year. The interminable correspondence with the officials who surrounded Mandela flew back and forth. We'd only get ten minutes, they said. The former President of South Africa was a very busy man. Finally, Peter and I stood on the threshold of his house in Houghton, a leafy suburb of Johannesburg. His house was tasteful, but not ostentatious. We were ushered in and offered tea. Mandela was a tall man who radiated warmth. He spoke quietly. The force of his words did not depend on volume.

He won the Nobel Peace Prize and other honors for his leadership of the peaceful transition to democracy in South Africa. When Mandela arrived a

A southern right whale breaching off of Peninsula Valdes , Argentina . The "mass mortality" of hundreds of southern right whale calves mystify scientists. Surprisingly large numbers of southern right whale calves are dying off the coast of Argentina, sparking concerns among marine scientists and conservation officials. Overall, southern right whales are doing much better than their endangered brethren to the north . But for one group of southern right whales that gives birth off Peninsula Valdés, Argentina (map) , fate has not been so kind. Hundreds of the Peninsula Valdés whales have died since monitoring of their population size began in 1971, researchers report in a study published this month in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series . From 1971 to 2011, 630 of the right whales died—adults and young ones combined. But 77 percent of those deaths occurred between 2003 and 2011. And of those recent deaths, 89 percent have occurred in the calves
