Sanctuary
 
Since President Theodore Roosevelt established the first refuge in 1903, the federal government has set aside vast stretches of land to protect the nation’s wildlife. For the October issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, wildlife biologist Douglas H. Chadwick and photographer Joel Sartore traveled through the world’s most comprehensive sanctuary system.
