A page should explain where an item came from, the area it applies to and when it needs another check. Unverified material is not presented as a settled conclusion.
Editorial scope
SafariWild covers wildlife destinations, habitats, broad seasonal patterns, representative species, identification, ecological roles and field conduct. It is general educational material, not live safety advice, a scientific assessment or a replacement for protected area rules.
Preferred sources
- Protected area authorities, national parks, public agencies and treaty bodies.
- Conservation organizations, research institutions, museums and established species databases.
- Peer reviewed papers and professional reports with clear authorship and dates.
- Field education material that explains its method and local limits.
News, travel writing and community observations can point to a subject for review. They do not determine conservation status or the publication of sensitive locations by themselves.
Review process
Research notes record the publisher, link, date, area and access date. Important claims such as conservation status, access rules and seasonal windows are compared with another suitable source when possible.
Editing separates sourced facts from general advice and uncertainty. A final check covers names, geographic precision, image attribution, licences, internal links and the next review date.
Species and conservation status
Scientific names, taxonomy and global conservation status should follow current authoritative databases. A global category may not describe a regional population, so the page should state the scale when it matters.
Relative observation opportunity is an editorial browsing aid. It is not a population estimate or a promise of a sighting.
Destinations and seasons
Best months describe a broad ecological window. Migration, flowering, rain, roads and opening status can vary each year. Readers should check the official source again before departure.
Route length, equipment and fitness notes are general preparation only. Current permits, insurance, weather, transport and local rules require separate checks.
Sensitive species and coordinates
Records for critically endangered species, nests, breeding areas, caves, poaching risk areas and small vulnerable plant populations use protected area or regional locations. Precision may be reduced even when a location has appeared elsewhere.
A precise location can increase disturbance or poaching risk. In those cases, the page keeps only the regional information needed to understand distribution.
Automation and AI assistance
Automated tools may help organize notes, find missing fields, check formatting and prepare language drafts. They cannot be the only source for conservation status, sensitive coordinates, licences or safety guidance.
Public text requires source checks and human editing. A claim that cannot be verified is removed, marked as uncertain or held back for later review.
Updates and corrections
High change fields receive priority during review. Confirmed errors may be corrected, annotated or temporarily removed depending on their effect.
Correction requests should include the page URL, a description of the problem and a source that can be checked. Submit them through the contact page.
