Sources and methods

The news summaries on releasedwild are compiled from a curated selection of published news feeds and digital indexes of established publications across Latin America. These sources are selected for their coverage of the site's core subject: wild animals in difficulty and the efficacy of human interventions. Each automated process identifies relevant stories, which are then rewritten by editorial staff with the aid of summarisation tools to produce a concise, plain-English digest. Every summary is clearly credited to its original publication, with a direct link provided to the source material for further reading.

When a reported fact, such as a specific casualty figure or an unusual cause of injury, appears in only one publication, it is treated as an unverified claim. The summary will note that the information comes from a single source. This approach ensures that the aggregated news on releasedwild maintains a distinction between widely reported events and isolated claims, leaving the reader to assess the original report.

The site's permanent reference pages, such as those for Species, Rescue Centres, or Threats, are constructed differently. They are built from stable, verified facts that coalesce from repeated reporting and official data. Each reference page is centred on a core facts table, presenting key information in a standardised format, and is accompanied by a credited, rights-cleared photograph. These pages are designed as objective starting points for public understanding.

Both the news coverage and the reference pages are subject to scheduled refresh cycles. News summaries are updated continuously as new reports are published. The factual reference pages are reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, or immediately if a major, verified development occurs. This process ensures the information across releasedwild remains current while distinguishing between the flow of daily news and established reference material.
