The Gambia River (top center), which flows through the middle of the tiny nation of The Gambia, supports a wide array of wildlife including migratory birds, chimpanzees, hippos, crocodiles, and manatees. It is also important for transportation and agriculture throughout the Senegambia region. Credit: NASA
