All questions before your inquiry →
What is the Tamandua Species Catalogue?

It is a visual catalogue of wildlife around Tamandua Biological Station, bringing together photographic records, confirmed observations and identification information associated with the station and its monitoring work.

What kinds of organisms are included?

The current catalogue includes birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, butterflies and other Lepidoptera, orchids, arachnids and other invertebrates.

Can visitors contribute photographs?

Yes. Visitors are invited to contribute useful photographs to the catalogue. Contact Tamandua to discuss your contribution; the site does not currently provide a direct upload form.

Can researchers contribute records?

Yes. Researchers can collaborate with photographs and records that support proper identification, scientific documentation and the station’s biodiversity database. Discuss the material with Tamandua.

Will photographers be credited?

Yes. Photographer credit is retained for contributions to the catalogue.

What information should accompany a photograph?

Contact Tamandua to agree which information should accompany your contribution and how the photographer should be credited. Discuss sensitive location information directly with the station.

Does contributing a photograph guarantee identification or publication?

No. The catalogue uses confirmed observations and reviewed photographs. Identification can remain uncertain; discuss the record and its suitability with the station.

How does the catalogue support research and conservation?

Photographs and properly identified records support scientific documentation, the biodiversity database, future research and conservation. Records gathered over time help document the life around the station.

How should sensitive species locations be handled?

Discuss sensitive locations privately with Tamandua before sharing them. Precise camera-trap locations are not published; agree with the station which record details are appropriate to make public.

Connect with the catalogue project

We invite visitors and researchers to collaborate with the catalogue project by contributing photographs of organisms observed around Tamandua Biological Station. Each contribution can help build a more complete picture of the biodiversity that shares this forest.

Photographers are credited for their images. Proper identification and recording give these photographs value beyond the encounter itself: they support scientific documentation and help strengthen the biodiversity database for research and conservation.

Contact the station to discuss your photographs and the information accompanying them. The catalogue does not currently offer a direct upload feature.
