AI helps us work faster without lowering standards. It does not write articles in isolation, and it is never treated as a source.
Where AI assists
Research organization, draft generation, metadata suggestions, summary writing, internal-link suggestions, schema preparation, and source-log normalization.
Where AI does not act alone
Conservation status changes, AZA-related claims, animal welfare topics, controversies, and any sensitive claim are reviewed by a human editor before publication. AI-generated images are not used as the primary image on factual species pages.
Disclosure
Articles that received substantive AI drafting carry a small disclosure line near the source list.
