Help needed!!
This is a big project – much bigger than one person.
So, I can really use your help.
There are two main ways that you can help in these early stages of the project.
- Sponsoring the WildStripes site or making a donation
- Sending me your photos of Zebras
Sponsorships
Sponsorships – If you would like to discuss how you can sponsor the whole project then please contact me so I can explain the project to you in more detail. You can reach me through the contact page.
Individual zebras can be sponsored in your company’s, or your own, name. If you sponsor a zebra we will add your details on that zebras page and you get the chance to give the zebra a name!
Donations
Donations – I would be extremely grateful for any donations. Each page has a “Support me” button which allows you to make donations through Ko-Fi. You could also get in touch with me directly through my contact page.
Zebra photos
Send me your Zebra photos – At present I am focused on photographing and documenting the Zebras at Rietvlei Nature Reserve in Gauteng, although I will be visiting other reserves over time. It would be very useful if you could send me any photos that you take of Zebras in any of the African game and nature reserves. These will help me build a database of zebras that can be used when I have completed the Zebra recognition software further on in the project.
If you would like to email photos to me then here are some guidelines:
- Photographs can be sent to steven (at) wildstripes.africa.
- The Zebra should be facing left. Zebras have different stripe patterns on their left and right sides so I am focusing on identifying zebras by their left sides.
- Please send the original un-edited photo. I realize that the photo files are huge but this is important to me.
- Send one photo per email.
- Ideally the Zebra should be standing in short to medium length grass or in an area with no vegetation. Zebras are often seen in long grass, with just their backs showing, which makes the identification difficult.
- Photographs showing Zebra behavior would be particularly welcome.
- Please include a note as to where the photograph was taken in the email.
- When in doubt send the photo!
- The photograph must be your own! Please do not send photos that you find on other websites.
- To upload your photos click here.
- Photographs can also be emailed to photos (at) wildstripes.africa.
Thank-you in advance for any support that you can provide me. It is truly welcome and appreciated.
Regards
Steven Herbert
