The Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management Call for Wildlife Photos
The ICWDM in cooperation with the USDA/National Wildlife Research Center is creating an on-line photo database to tell the story of wildlife damage management. We believe that the public is woefully uninformed about the important role that wildlife damage managers play in protecting, life, health and property.
We hope you will help us tell this story by allowing the ICWDM-USDA/NWRC to make your photos available to others, for publications and presentations (like PowerPoint).
We need print (3 megapixels or higher) and presentation quality (72 dpi) photos on
Bird strikes Vehicle strikes Rodent damage Urban wildlife problems, especially coyotes, bears, cougars Feral Pigs Structural damage Agricultural damage, flooded roads, Feces Tracks Animal young Animals in the wild Animal control equipment and activities
In short, everything related to wildlife control.
Contributors will have their names, businesses and/or organizations honored on the ICWDM site.
FAQ
Q. I would like to donate some photos. What do I have to do?
A. First, include a note affirming that you give the ICWDM permission to make these photos available to the public.
Second, include your name (as you wish it to appear) with a statement that you own the photos.
Third, any information you can provide about the photos is appreciated, such as location where taken, date, and description of the scene, identification of individuals within the photo. If you are sending prints, write the information on the back of the print with a FELT-tipped marker. Don’t use ball point pen as it will crease the image.
Q. I want to donate some photos. But will I lose the rights to them?
A. No. You retain the right to sell and use your photos as you wish. You are just allowing the ICWDM to make your images available to those who visit the site. The ICWDM will digitally watermark or otherwise provide copyright info on the photo to help protect image ownership.
Q. Can I send photos to you via e-mail?
A. Certainly! Just be sure that each e-mail doesn’t exceed 6 megabytes in size. Our e-mail is shygnstr@uwsp.edu.
