Editorial and Sourcing Policy

This policy explains how we decide what to publish and how you can judge what you read here.

Sources

• Rules and safety information — drone law, wildlife viewing distances, permits, landing rules, guide requirements, closures — are attributed to the official authority that sets them, and linked in each article's References section.
• We prefer primary sources: government agencies, national and regional park authorities, bird observatories, conservation organizations and scientific bodies.
• Old travel logistics are never carried forward as current facts. Anything that changes often appears in a Check before you go box and should be confirmed with the official source before travel.

Facts versus suggestions

Articles use labelled boxes so you can tell the difference:

• Key facts — statements supported by a source listed on the page.
• Editorial suggestions — practical advice that reflects our judgement, not a sourced rule.
• Safety and ethics — welfare, legal and supervision guidance.
• Check before you go — details you must confirm because they change.

Experience and authorship

Articles are published under the Expedition Wildlife name. We do not invent first-hand trips, field credentials, testimonials, product tests or ratings. If an article describes a place, it describes what is documented about it, not an experience we claim to have had.

Some articles in this edition were drafted with AI assistance. Every article lists its sources, separates sourced facts from editorial suggestions, and shows the date it was written or last reviewed.

Images

We only publish photographs whose source and licence we have recorded. Until licensed images are added, pages use simple decorative illustrations that are not photographs and do not depict real sightings.

Ethics

We do not publish content that encourages baiting, calling at sensitive times, approaching nests, touching or feeding wild animals, or flying drones where it disturbs wildlife or breaks the rules. We do not accept payment for coverage, publish affiliate links, or recommend specific tour operators.

Children

Family Nature content is written for parents and carers. We do not describe difficult hikes, open-water trips or remote treks as suitable for children, and we include adult-supervision guidance wherever it applies.

Updates and corrections

Each article shows the date it was written or last reviewed. When we correct a factual error we update that date. See the contact page for how to reach us.
