Wildlife Near You is a mashup site dealing with photographs and locations of animals. It deals principally with wildlife parks, zoos and nature reserves, because its intention is to enable people with an interest to travel to these places to see wildlife. The site is owned by Wildlife Near You.com Limited incorporated in England. The site has a function to enable the company to be contacted by email and it also has a page detailing General Terms and Conditions including copyright and the Privacy policy. The site is considered authorititive given these details. There is also a blog although the last post was in May.
A search for animals can be made by name or locality or a combination. Contributors can register to be able to upload photographs and details of their trips to zoos etc. The site is less than a year old so the number of photographs and trips is limited, however there seems to be a dedicated group of 'spotters' who regularly submit trip and photo details. This site has way to go before it is really interesting and it is very northern hemisphere oriented. Photographs and trip details are first uploaded to flickr and then to the site, in a slightly complicated procedure which may put some people off contributing. Good general interest probably for younger age groups.
