Plea for mammal photos
Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2020 7:23 pm
Forgive me if this comes across as a bit of a "cold call", but I am looking for photographs to illustrate a booklet on Botswana mammals that will be given away to teenage school goers under the Junior Ranger programme of the Knyphausen Foundationhttps://www.facebook.com/pg/juniorrangerbotswana/posts/ . The Junior Rangers are a bunch of local kids who are enthusiastic about wildlife and conservation - the next generation of wildlife managers and conservationists if their interest is nurtured.
They have already done a booklet on trees and plants, and one on birds
Because it is a charity project I can't offer to pay, but you will get credited, and I can probably get a few copies of the booklet that you could share with young friends or relatives.
The species that I am still looking for are listed below, there might be a few added to this list if the designer doesn't like those I have sent him already. I would like to get "portrait" shots that show the species' distinguishing features. They will be printed no bigger than 10 cm x 10 cm and so super high resolution is not required.
Pictures from Botswana are preferred, but by no means essential.
Members with pictures can post in this thread, PM me, or e-mail me at peterjapps--at--gmail.com.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
