The Guardians of the Earth

Share an experience, nurture responsibility

Proposing a story or observation to the editorial team: context, rights, respect for animals and information not to share.

A useful experience need not be spectacular: acknowledging a mistake or asking a good question can help other carers too. No contribution is published automatically.

What makes a contribution useful

Explain what you observed, the general context and what changed over time. If you are proposing advice, make the limits of your experience clear and provide supporting sources. Do not turn the outcome of a single case into a rule for everyone.

Images and rights

In your first message, describe the material available. Only propose images you own the rights to or for which you can document suitable permission. Do not send material taken from other websites, photographs of identifiable minors, complete certificates or images revealing where animals are kept.

Do not handle or distress a tortoise to obtain a more striking photograph. Protecting the subject comes before creating content.

What happens next

The editorial team may ask for clarification, compare sources, suggest changes or decide not to use the material. Attribution and permission for use must be agreed before publication; sending material does not automatically transfer all rights.

A discreet first contact

Write to info@icustodidellaterra.org, explaining the reason for your enquiry. The link opens your email application: the website does not send messages on your behalf.

Do not attach personal documents, identification details or photographs of minors. To propose images, first describe the material you have available.
