There is a number of Zebra species in the world, with populations varying a great deal. Some of them are endangered, such as the rare Mountain Zebra or the Hartmann Zebra. The others, like Burchell’s Zebra (Equus burchellii) are quite common in the wild and not endangered. Burchell's zebras inhabit savannas, from treeless grasslands to open woodlands. They can be found in South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. They sometimes occur in tens of thousands in migratory herds on the Serengeti plains. We only use Burchell's zebra hides. These hides come from government-approved herd thinning programmes implemented to protect and encourage propagation of Zebra species.
