We compare our conservation data against Wikipedia — and help you update the world's most-read encyclopedia when data is out of sync.
Wikipedia is the world's 6th most-visited website. When someone searches "vaquita population," Wikipedia articles often appear in the top results. If Wikipedia's data is outdated, journalists, policymakers, and casual browsers all work from wrong numbers. Keeping Wikipedia accurate multiplies the reach of real conservation data.
We fetch live data from Wikipedia's REST API for each species article, then compare it side-by-side with our curated numbers. Yellow-highlighted rows indicate discrepancies. Click "Update Wikipedia" to open a pre-filled edit with our data in the edit summary — all you have to do is review and submit.
