GREAT PHOTOS NEEDED
Dear Colleagues, January 11, 2012
I am writing to ask your help locating great photos for use in the
Primer of Conservation Biology, 5th edition, a widely used
undergraduate textbook. If you have any great color photos of the
following subjects, please send them (just the best ones!) one at a
time via email to: richardprim...@gmail.com
I am interested in both vertical and horizontal images.
Sinauer Associates and I are on a tight production schedule; so the
sooner you can send these photos the better. Or if you have some of
these topics on a website, please let me know where to find them.
Please pass this message on to anyone else who you think might have
some great photos.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Richard B. Primack
Boston University
Subjects needed:
Many species together; fish, insects, fungi, etc. illustrating the rich
diversity of life; either in nature or a collecting situation.
People collecting plants or animals specimens, or working with
specimens in a museum; perhaps someone putting plants in a plant press.
Attaching tags or radio transmitter to an animal.
Managing a habitat in some way, such as burning, building trails,
reducing poaching, patrolling against illegal fishing, etc.
Traditional people doing something on their land, such as catching
fish, practicing shifting cultivation, etc.
Pictures of Kuna people fishing in Panama.
Scientists carrying out a field study, such as censusing fish or coral
populations, catching animals for a field study, etc.
An iconic national park, Ramsar site, or World Heritage Site, with
recognizable scenery and perhaps some animals and/or people.
Tourists on foot, in a vehicle, or on a boat looking at wildlife,
perhaps with binoculars or cameras.
Bushmeat, with a hunter or in a market.
