Faunal.org welcomes clear, relevant, and good-faith messages about wildlife information, fauna terminology, biodiversity data, species checklists, accessibility issues, editorial corrections, source updates, and general site questions. To keep communication simple and secure, Faunal.org does not use a public contact form on this page.
For contact, corrections, accessibility reports, and general inquiries, email us at support@faunal.org.
How to Contact Faunal.org
The best way to reach Faunal.org is by email. Please send your message to support@faunal.org. We review messages related to site content, biodiversity data interpretation, source accuracy, accessibility, technical issues, and general editorial questions.
To help us understand your message, please include a clear subject line and, when relevant, the URL of the page you are referring to. If your message concerns a possible correction, outdated source, scientific name, conservation status, species checklist, occurrence record, chart, table, or map-related explanation, please include the source or evidence that supports your note.
| Reason for Contact | What to Include | Important Note |
|---|---|---|
| Editorial Correction | Page URL, the specific issue, and a reliable source that supports the correction. | We review corrections based on source quality, relevance, and whether the change improves accuracy. |
| Scientific Name or Taxonomy Issue | Common name, scientific name, page URL, and the taxonomic source you are referencing. | Taxonomy can change over time, and different authorities may treat some names differently. |
| Conservation Status Issue | Species name, page URL, assessment source, assessment year, and whether the status is global, national, or regional. | Global, national, regional, and legal statuses may differ and should not be mixed without context. |
| Occurrence Record or Map Concern | Page URL, dataset name, record source, location issue, or map interpretation concern. | Occurrence records are evidence points and should not be read as complete distribution maps. |
| Accessibility Problem | Page URL, device, browser, issue description, and assistive technology used if you are comfortable sharing it. | Accessibility reports help us identify practical improvements across tables, charts, navigation, and page structure. |
| General Inquiry | A short explanation of your question and any relevant page or topic. | We may not be able to respond to unrelated, promotional, automated, or low-relevance messages. |
What We Can Help With
Faunal.org can review messages about website content, source clarity, terminology, accessibility, formatting problems, outdated references, and biodiversity data interpretation. We are especially interested in corrections that help readers better understand animal life, regional fauna, species checklists, conservation status, habitat context, invasive species, occurrence records, and map limitations.
Useful Messages
The most useful messages are specific, source-based, and tied to a page URL. A clear correction with a reliable source is easier to review than a general claim that a page is incomplete or wrong.
What We Cannot Provide
Faunal.org is an independent informational website. We do not provide emergency wildlife response, animal rescue, veterinary advice, legal advice, ecological survey certification, protected species permits, hunting or fishing permissions, trade compliance advice, academic supervision, official species verification, or government services.
If your situation involves an injured animal, dangerous animal encounter, protected species issue, wildlife crime, animal trade, field collection, land-use decision, legal compliance, public safety concern, or urgent ecological matter, contact the relevant local authority, licensed professional, wildlife rescue organization, conservation agency, veterinarian, or emergency service.
Important Safety Notice
Do not use email to Faunal.org for urgent wildlife emergencies, dangerous animal encounters, suspected wildlife crime, or time-sensitive safety issues. Contact local emergency services or the appropriate official wildlife authority instead.
Correction Requests
If you believe a page contains an error, please include the exact page URL, the sentence or section you are referring to, and a reliable source that supports the correction. Reliable sources may include official biodiversity databases, government conservation agencies, taxonomic authorities, scientific institutions, peer-reviewed publications, museum databases, or recognized conservation assessment sources.
We do not normally make corrections based only on personal opinion, unsourced claims, social media posts, forum discussions, low-quality copied content, or pages that do not provide clear evidence. Some topics may remain uncertain when sources disagree, taxonomy is unresolved, or regional data is incomplete.
Data, Maps, and Species Records
Messages about occurrence records, species maps, biodiversity datasets, and regional fauna lists should be as specific as possible. A species record may reflect a museum specimen, field observation, citizen-science report, survey result, or published dataset. These evidence types do not always mean the same thing.
Data Review Context
When reviewing data-related messages, we consider source quality, taxonomic match, record date, geographic scope, coordinate precision, basis of record, assessment year, and whether the claim is about occurrence, distribution, abundance, habitat, conservation status, or legal protection.
Media, Partnerships, and Reuse Requests
For media, citation, educational reuse, collaboration, or partnership questions, contact support@faunal.org with a clear explanation of your request. Please include your organization, intended use, relevant page URL, and whether your request concerns text, data interpretation, charts, tables, illustrations, or other material.
Faunal.org may reference third-party sources, databases, images, charts, or scientific information. We cannot grant permission for content, images, datasets, trademarks, or materials owned by third parties. For third-party content, contact the original rights holder or source directly.
Response Expectations
We aim to review relevant messages, but we cannot guarantee a response to every email. Response availability may depend on message volume, relevance, clarity, source quality, technical complexity, and whether the message requires further research.
Messages that are promotional, automated, abusive, misleading, unrelated to the site, or lacking enough detail may not receive a reply. Sending a message does not create a professional relationship, advisory relationship, legal obligation, service agreement, or guaranteed response.
Privacy When You Contact Us
When you email Faunal.org, your email address and the contents of your message are used to review and respond to your inquiry. Please do not send sensitive personal information, confidential documents, private location data for sensitive species, legal case details, medical information, payment information, passwords, or information you do not want reviewed by the site team.
If your message includes sensitive species location data, nesting sites, endangered species locations, poaching concerns, wildlife crime details, or private land information, consider whether the appropriate official authority or conservation body should receive the information instead.
