Editorial Independence

Written by Jan Otte, CEO & Co-Founder Updated November 11, 2026

Animals Around The Globe exists to help people understand animals and care about them. To do that well, what we publish has to be decided by what is true and useful to you, not by who pays us.

Who decides what we publish

Our editorial team chooses the topics we cover and how we cover them. Advertisers and other partners do not take part in these decisions, and they do not see or approve articles before they are published.

How we make money

  • Advertising. Most of our income comes from ads shown next to our articles, served through the ad network Mediavine.
  • Affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. When you buy a product through one of our Amazon links, we may earn a commission. The price you pay stays the same.

We do not accept payment for articles or for favorable coverage.

Facts over agendas

Climate change, habitat loss and conflicts between people and wildlife are subjects where opinions run high. We follow the evidence, say when it is uncertain, and keep political and interest-group agendas out of our reporting.

How we use AI and how we research is explained in our AI policy.

Corrections

If you think we got something wrong, write to feedback@animalsaroundtheglobe.com. We check every report and correct the article when the error is real.
