Less Common Questions
What kinds of products do you sell?
Jungle Photos does not currently operate an online store. The site's primary purpose is educational and
archival. We do offer image licensing for approved uses; please contact Jungle Photos if you have questions
about licensing.
Can I use Jungle Photos images to make items for gifts or other products?
Use of all images is subject to our Terms of Use. Limited personal use is permitted
but images may not be used for resale or to promote commercial products. Examples of personal use would
include a framed print, bookmark, report cover, or similar item. Please respect copyright laws and request
permission for any usage beyond the limits described on the Terms of Use page.
Why are some of the additional information pages incomplete?
In May 2005, Jungle Photos transitioned from a frames-based site with content primarily on the Amazon
rainforest to a CSS-based site with photos and information from Africa and the Galapagos Islands as well
as the Amazon. Some information pages remain incomplete because the site developed over many years and was
not actively maintained for a long period. Regular maintenance resumed in August 2026, and incomplete pages
are being reviewed and updated gradually.
(Summary of changes and improvements with the upgrade)

Unusual Questions
What can I do if pages load slowly?
Jungle Photos is designed to work well even if you have a slow internet connection. However, the site will
work best if you have a high speed internet connection such as DSL or cable modem. If you have a dial up (56K
or slower) connection, a page with two or three images will take up to a minute to load, and if the connection is
broken you will need to start again.
Have you won any awards?
Jungle Photos has not focused on awards or formal promotion. The current goal is to preserve the site,
improve its content, and keep it useful for visitors. If you would like to mention or recommend Jungle
Photos, please let us know.
