Fay worries that if his efforts fail, his own notes and recordings will one day be the only mementos of these pristine ecosystems.
What Fay envisioned was a colossal version of an ecological transect–a standard means of sampling an ecosystem, in which a scientist tallies plants and animals along a straight path.
By the time Fay emerged on a Gabonese beach 460 days after he stepped into the jungle, the 44-year-old American had walked through two pairs of river sandals and 12 rolls of duct tape (he used it as "plastic skin" when river sand and sharp thorns wore his feet raw) and lost 30 pounds.

Fay's conscience was a wonderfully adaptable one, with a tendency to poetic quotation.
