Disclaimer
TuskWise is a brand of Joshua Israel Ventures LLC. This page explains the limits of the information on our site and how we handle advertising and affiliate links.
Accuracy of information
We write every page from published sources such as the IUCN Red List, WWF, accredited zoos, universities and peer reviewed studies, and we list those sources on each page. Even so, research is updated, population estimates are revised and mistakes can happen. Information may be incomplete or out of date by the time you read it. If you spot an error, please tell us and we will review it.
No professional relationship
TuskWise is not written by veterinarians, wildlife biologists, travel safety experts, lawyers or financial advisers, and reading the site or contacting us does not create any professional, advisory or client relationship. Our content is general educational information, not veterinary, medical, travel safety, legal or financial advice.
Ethical travel guidance is general
Our ethical viewing guide and sanctuary checklist describe practices to look for and avoid, based on published welfare guidance. They do not rate, endorse or accuse any specific venue, and conditions at any venue can change. Always verify a venue yourself before you book: read its current policies, look for independent accreditation, and check recent independent reports. You are responsible for your own travel decisions and safety, and you should follow local laws and official travel advice.
Advertising and affiliate disclosure
TuskWise currently has no advertising, no sponsored content and no paid or affiliate links. We receive no payment or free products from any venue, tour operator or organization we mention.
If we add advertising or affiliate links in the future, we will follow the US Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements: we will clearly label sponsored content and affiliate links on the pages where they appear, close to the link itself, and update this page and our Privacy Policy. Advertising will never change what our sources say or how we report facts.
External links
Links to other websites are provided for reference and to credit our sources. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those sites.
