Where to send what

Everything reaches the same inbox, but telling us which of these you are writing about, and including what is listed, means a quicker and more useful reply. If you want to add something to the portal rather than ask about it, the Contribute page has its own routes.

Request data

Most of the portal is already downloadable. For what is not, including exact localities, which are withheld as a matter of policy, there is a request form.

Researchers, agency staff, conservation practitioners, and land managers are all welcome to ask.

Request data

Using an image

Images are All Rights Reserved unless stated otherwise, and some belong to photographers rather than to us. Educational and non-profit use is usually granted at no cost.

Include the species, the intended use, and where it will appear.

Ask about an image

A site concern

If something here puts a cave or a species at risk, or you are a landowner who would prefer a cave name not to appear, write and we will withhold it while we look into it.

Tell us the page and the concern. Dealt with before anything else.

Raise a concern

Anything else

Questions about the data, collaborations, media enquiries, or a problem using the site.

Accessibility reports get a reply within five working days.

Adding something to the portal

Corrections, new species, photographs, observations, references, and opportunities all have their own routes, and each takes a few minutes.
