Our editorial process is designed to turn a reader’s question into a useful, well-sourced answer without losing the uncertainty and regional detail that wildlife topics often require.
Topic Selection
We choose topics from reader questions, recurring identification problems, seasonal interest, conservation relevance, and gaps in existing coverage. Search demand may help us understand how people phrase a question, but it does not determine the scientific answer.
We avoid manufacturing urgency or publishing a claim simply because it is likely to attract clicks.
Assignment And Research
An editor defines the question, audience, geographic scope, and essential points before drafting begins. The writer gathers evidence using the standards in our Research Methodology.
The research record should be strong enough for another editor to trace important facts. Sources are chosen for authority and relevance, not merely because they appear first in a search result.
Drafting
Writers use plain language, short paragraphs, and enough context for a reader who may be new to falcons. Technical terms are explained when they improve accuracy. We distinguish observation from inference and established evidence from informed interpretation.
The draft must not encourage nest disturbance, unlawful possession, harmful handling, baiting, trespass, or disclosure of sensitive sites.
Editorial Review
An editor checks the answer against the assigned question and reviews factual consistency, structure, wording, sources, image rights, captions, links, and search presentation. Measurements and comparison tables are checked against the article text.
Weak claims are removed, narrowed, or labeled with appropriate uncertainty. We do not keep an unsupported claim merely because it makes the article sound more exciting.
Specialist Review
A specialist review may be requested when an article covers rehabilitation, health, law, conservation status, difficult identification, technical flight claims, or another area where added expertise materially improves reliability.
A review credit means the named person reviewed the relevant content. It does not mean the reviewer personally endorses every unrelated statement elsewhere on the site.
Publication And Maintenance
Before publication, the page receives a final check for title, byline, reviewer information where applicable, update date, internal links, accessibility, and mobile readability. Advertising considerations do not override editorial judgment.
Published work remains open to review. We monitor credible corrections, broken sources, material scientific changes, and outdated agency guidance. Significant corrections are handled under our Corrections Policy.
Originality And Integrity
Pervaaz does not knowingly publish plagiarism, fabricated quotations, invented field experience, manipulated evidence, or unlicensed material. Writers and editors are responsible for checking that the final page reflects the evidence and does not misrepresent another person’s work.
We do not publish automatically generated articles without meaningful human research, fact-checking, editing, and accountability. Any tool used during production remains subordinate to the judgment of the named editorial team.
Wildlife Ethics And Sensitive Species Policy
Our first obligation when publishing wildlife information is to avoid causing harm. A useful article or striking photograph is not worth disturbing a nest, exposing a vulnerable bird, or encouraging unlawful behavior.
Observe From A Respectful Distance
Readers and contributors should use distance, patience, and optical equipment instead of approaching a falcon. Warning calls, repeated circling, alarm posture, interruption of feeding, or a bird leaving eggs or young can indicate that an observer is too close.
A legal access point is not automatically an ethical viewing position. Move away if your presence changes the bird’s behavior.
Nests, Roosts, And Young Birds
We do not publish precise locations for active nests, communal roosts, rehabilitation sites, hacked release locations, or vulnerable birds when disclosure creates a credible risk. Location data in reader submissions and images may be removed or generalized.
Do not climb to a nest, move eggs or young, trim vegetation for a view, remain near a fledgling to stage a photograph, or block an adult’s approach. A grounded young falcon is not necessarily abandoned. Contact a qualified local professional before intervening.
Photography And Recording
We oppose baiting, live prey staging, flushing, crowding, and repeated disturbance for images. Playback and calls can alter behavior and should be avoided around breeding birds and other sensitive situations.
Drones can disturb wildlife and may be prohibited near nests, protected areas, airports, or private property. Pervaaz does not encourage drone use around falcons.
Handling And Rescue
Wild raptors can injure people and can be harmed by incorrect handling, feeding, or restraint. Possession and transport are often regulated. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or responsible authority when a bird may need help.
We do not publish step-by-step capture or treatment instructions for unlicensed readers. Emergency guidance is limited to helping a reader contact the right professional and avoid immediate harm.
Field Access And Community Respect
Contributors must respect private property, protected area rules, closures, permits, cultural sites, and the safety of other visitors. We do not accept trespass or harassment as the price of an observation.
Sensitive traditional knowledge or community supplied location information should not be published without appropriate permission and consideration of conservation risk.
Publication Decisions
Editors may crop an image, remove location metadata, delay a report, generalize a site, omit procedural detail, or decline material when publication could cause harm. These decisions can be made even when the underlying activity was lawful.
We correct or remove content that unintentionally exposes a vulnerable location. Readers can report a concern to hello@pervaaz.com and should clearly mark the message as sensitive.
