The Naturescope Series is an 18 issue environmental activity series for elementary schools, grades 1-8, which includes activity sheets and craft projects. The Education Office of the National Zoo has a limited number of videos and 16 mm films on the National Zoo, Conservation Research Center, and Rainforest RAP for loan to schools in the local area only. A limited number of photographs of zoo animals are available on request from the Public Affairs office. Web site offers views of over 100 photos of mammals and birds. Although many of the photos are of zoo animals, there is a substantial collection of photos taken of wild animals in Africa, the Galapagos, and New Guinea.
Photographs are also available of exotic or local mammals, birds, reptiles and plants.
Due to the size of the collection and because the files change almost daily, there is no catalog. Checks should be made payable to the Zoological Society of San Diego. Prices are for private use, not for reproduction. It is best to call Photo Lab for current prices and information on a specific request. Write to the Photo Librarian for rates and requirements for use of photographic material for commercial purposes.
