2009 Version of the Zap the Zebra Brochure
Zap the Zebra The latest version of the Zap the Zebra brochure is now ready for printing. Individual agencies are responsible for printing these.

The art work is available here as a 300 dpi in PDF and JPEG formats. The original art work (in Adobe InDesign CS3 format) is also available on request (david_britton@fws.gov). The brochure is divided into two documents, inside and outside. Both are 8.5 by 11 inches with an additional eighth inch bleed surrounding the main content. Different printing shops will require different settings, so you may need to adjust the document to fit specific requirements. Space has been provided on the back of the outside (between the 100th Meridian Initiative and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service logos) for the addition of your agency logo. A gray box is also provided for region- or state-specific information. These are the only two areas where permission is granted to alter the documents.
