A picture needs context
A photograph should match the animal it represents and have enough information to trace its origin. File names alone do not establish permission to reuse it.
Keep the credit with the image
This atlas records the author, source page and license alongside included photographs. When editors replace an image, the new credit and license need to be updated too.
Understand the permission
Open licenses have different conditions. Some require attribution or sharing adaptations under compatible terms. A public website must check the license that applies to the exact image.
Make corrections possible
If an attribution is incomplete or an image is misidentified, use the contact page with the relevant URL and supporting information. Clear records make corrections easier.
A useful next step
Choose one manageable improvement and make a note of what changes. Use the practical tools to organize the details, and return to the discussion to share what you learned.
