Allowed image sources

Renewal Ecology may publish original artwork, commissioned images, properly licensed assets or public-domain material. A production asset register should store creator, source URL, license, date obtained, permitted uses and required attribution.

Scientific and editorial images

Documentary images must not be altered in ways that change ecological meaning. Editorial illustrations must be labeled so they are not mistaken for a photograph, field measurement or reconstruction of a specific site.

Cultural and geographic care

Captions must not assign a place, species or scientific meaning based only on visual appearance. Images of sensitive sites or species should follow agency guidance and avoid exposing harmful location details.

Pre-launch requirement

The supplied hero and study images in this package are original generated editorial assets. The publisher must review its own deployment and reuse rights, retain the prompt record supplied with the handoff, and add any later third-party assets to the credit register.
