Plains zebras have shiny coats that dissipate over 70% of incoming heat, and some scientists believe the stripes help the animals withstand intense solar radiation. The black and white stripes also act as camouflage called disruptive coloration that breaks up the outline of the body.

Recycle Your Old Cell Phone to Benefit Wildlife
AWF
Give unused cell phones new life!

Are your old cell phones or cell phone accessories lying unused in a drawer or closet?

Now you can get rid of your junk and benefit precious wildlife. Just donate the unneeded equipment to Lifeline for Africa, a cell phone collection program that benefits nonprofit organizations working in Africa.

Participating is fast and easy: Visit www.lifelineforafrica.com, select AWF as the organization you'd like to support, and print out a prepaid shipping label. Then drop your package in the mail.

Donated cell phones are refurbished and donated directly or sold to generate financial revenue for AWF's programs. Any phones that can’t be reused or resold are recycled in an environmentally friendly way by ReCellular, the cell phone reuse and recycling company that runs Lifeline for Africa.

AWF is pleased to offer you this convenient, environmentally-friendly way to put old cell phones to use for conservation. Visit Lifeline for Africa today to participate.
