About

Fauna Report is about the real state of the world's species: what's known, what changes, and what gets discovered. It isn't an encyclopedia of animal profiles — there are many, and good ones. It's a look at what's happening to animals now.

Two origins, marked differently

The site has two kinds of content, and the distinction is visible on purpose.

The articles here are written for this site. They appear with a long-read typeface and blue links. They deal with conservation, methods, categories, and the ideas that help you read everything else more clearly.

The Radar links to news published on other sites. It shows a title, a short excerpt and the source name, with amber marking and an arrow. The full text stays where it was published, and the link opens on the original site.

You'll never find someone else's article reproduced here as if it were ours. Each article ends with a list of authoritative sources — original studies and official bodies — so any claim can be checked at its origin.

The Radar's sources

The selection comes from leading wildlife and science publications: Mongabay, The Guardian, ScienceDaily and Phys.org, among others. Feeds are read when the site is generated, not on every visit, and cached so the site keeps working even when a source is down.

How it's built

A static generator in Python, with no external dependencies. The articles are plain text files. The output is HTML, CSS and a little SVG. There's no JavaScript, no database, no cookies and no tracking.
