Conservation & fieldwork

Turn conservation photography into evidence, story, and action. Capture structured field records, compose a public story in the same CMS, attribute support to conservation activity with Impact Records, then keep the fieldwork moving.

Fieldwork That Survives The Hand-Off

A photograph can prove that something was seen. It rarely proves what happened next. ArtInStack keeps the chain going: Capture structured evidence, Compose a public story, Attribute support to conservation activity, then Capture again as the work continues.

Capture

Survey, deployments, walkovers, and observations on one media graph.

More than a gallery. Built around the work behind it.

Photography becomes evidence, story, and action on one media spine. Connect conservation media to publishable proof and attributable support, without claiming to be every science system in the field.

Capture

Structured field media

Survey, deployment, media, and observation stay connected. One frame can hold many animals; stubs stay honest until identification lands. Partners get structure. Your site gets the same files for story.

Compose

Evidence of Impact

Publish trustworthy field evidence with date, safe place, and taxon. Require-proof gates keep unfinished frames from overclaiming. Specificity replaces vague green claims donors have learned to distrust.

Compose

Conservation Story

One conservation story block brings evidence, place, activity, and an optional campaign ask together in the same page builder as your portfolio and site. Compose the story without building another conservation database.

Attribute

Impact Records

Connect an economic action to the conservation activity it supports. Allocate toward fieldwork you can substantiate; share a private donor Impact page. No invented impact. If an outcome is not verified, ArtInStack does not pretend it is.

Attribute

Impact-aware commerce

Donations, licenses, and products can attach a campaign so checkout creates provenance. Optional percent-of-sale attribution keeps commercial revenue honest. The photograph can help fund the work without becoming a stock marketplace.

Publish

Science hand-off

Partner Camtrap export, or Prepare for GBIF with explicit license and spatial judgment, then Publish under Instant Connect or Delegated Access. DOI credit stays with your endorsed Publisher.

When the chain stops at the ask

Photos, spreadsheets, survey notes, a gallery, and a donation page that never meet
“$X contributed to Campaign Y” with no link to fieldwork you can show
Maps that go exact because the fundraising tool has no redaction model
“Trust us, your money helped” with nothing attributable to open

After you standardize here

Your media keeps its survey and observation context
Evidence and Conservation Story publish from the same CMS
Impact Records allocate support to survey(s) with a private donor page
Support can point back to the fieldwork it was allocated toward

Built for open science

Node-endorsed publisher

Endorsed by GBIF-US as a data publisher in the network

Camtrap DP

Standardized data packages

Tables partners and archives already recognize

Darwin Core

Taxonomic mapping

GBIF-backed suggest with a stable taxon key

Prepare harvest-ready Camtrap DP packages and publish under an endorsed Organization via the GBIF Registry API.

Capture

Photography becomes structured field evidence

Survey → Deployment → Observation stays on the same media row that Portfolio publishes. Partners get science structure; visitors get the story, without a second upload.

Survey structure for partners; portfolio for visitors
Species tags live on the observation record
Field UI stays off until conservation is enabled

Capture

Observations that travel downstream

Species identity prefers GBIF-backed suggest with a stable taxon key. Multi-animal frames become multiple observation rows ready for Evidence, export, and GBIF.

Scientific names and taxon keys on each observation
IUCN status informs public privacy rules
Partner Camtrap packages from the survey workspace

Compose

Evidence people can check

Publish a survey timeline with date, safe place, and taxon provenance. Softened labels protect sensitive sites; unfinished IDs stay honest under require-proof gates.

Survey-sourced page block on your program site
Provenance chips treat unfinished IDs as trust signals
Place the ask after proof is visible

Compose

One Conservation Story in the same CMS

One conservation story block brings evidence, place, activity, and an optional campaign ask together in the same page builder as your portfolio and site. Impact Map keeps nest-site precision a deliberate choice.

Campaign optional when you want fundraising framing
Story intent shapes which content-backed sections lead
Exact, redacted, or hidden public map policy

Attribute

Support that points back to fieldwork

A paid gift with a campaign creates an Impact Record you allocate toward conservation activity. Donors get a private Impact page. Campaign framing alone is not spend proof.

Allocate under Settings → Campaigns → Impact
Split across surveys when the work requires it
No invented outcomes: status is allocation progress, not results claimed

Engage

Invite crews without breaking the chain

Events Manager handles RSVP, approval, and check-in for field days and trainings on your domain. Crew rosters stay separate from Survey → Observation detections.

Public signup with volunteer or paid modes
Invite and accept flows for crew coordination
Day photos can join a survey when the science step is ready

Publish

Hand off to the systems already doing science

Export Camtrap for partners, or Prepare for GBIF and Publish under your endorsed Organization. ArtInStack connects media to evidence, story, and action; it does not replace GBIF or field ops tools.

CC0 / CC BY / CC BY-NC gate before Build
Fuzz or withhold for elevated IUCN status
Publisher credit with staged / crawl / OK status

Swipe sideways for more

One conservation workflow. Many systems underneath.

The conservation workflow is simple on the surface, with deeper systems underneath.

Capture

Turn field photography into structured evidence: survey, deployments, walkovers, and GBIF-backed observations on the same media that powers your site.

Govern

Set Data Governance, public-after embargoes, and map privacy before you publish, so Evidence, Story, maps, and exports share one place policy.

Compose

Turn evidence into a public story with Evidence of Impact, Impact Maps, or a Conservation Story block in the same page builder you already use.

Attribute

Connect support to conservation activity with Impact Records. Allocate gifts toward fieldwork you can substantiate, share the donor Impact page, and keep claims limited.

Engage

Run volunteer days and workshops with Events Manager on your domain. Crew rosters stay separate from Survey → Observation detections.

Publish

Export Camtrap for partners, or Prepare for GBIF and Publish under your endorsed Organization, then keep Capture moving as new fieldwork lands.

Survey → Deployment → Observation on the same media that powers your public site.

Surveys & deployments: Walkovers, leaf tagging, and project structure on one media graph.
GBIF-backed taxonomy: Scientific names, IUCN status, counts, and organism IDs.
Media filters: By species, survey, and conservation status.
Capability-gated chrome: Field UI only when conservation is on the plan.

One location policy above Geo privacy for Evidence, maps, Story, and harvest packages.

Threat-based obfuscation: Automatic fuzz or withhold from IUCN tiers.
Species overrides: When global status misses a locally sensitive site.
Survey embargoes: Time-bound Public after dates for delayed release.
Policy cascade: Same rules for Evidence, Impact Map pins, GBIF Prepare, and Camtrap export.

Evidence becomes a story people can understand, still governed for sensitive place.

Evidence of Impact: Require-proof and provenance chips on the public story.
Conservation Story: One block for proof, place, and ask.
Portfolio Impact Maps: Exact, redacted, or hidden public policy per pin.
Photo detail observations: Optional public display; elevated IUCN stays protected.

Commerce stays on the campaign; fieldwork stays on the survey; Impact Records bridge them.

Impact Records: Created when paid gifts land with a campaign.
Allocation lines: Must sum to the attributed amount toward conservation activity.
Donor Impact page: Private page linked from the receipt email.
Honest framing: Campaign-to-survey links aren’t spend proof—allocation lines are.

Invite people without confusing signup lists with species records.

Events Manager: Volunteer and paid signup with roster and check-in.
Sensitive meeting points: Manual review when locations stay private.
Day photos → survey: Join fieldwork media when the science step is ready.
Events vs Surveys: Who registered stays separate from what was detected.

Continuity across the business

The difference isn't one feature. It's what happens when publishing, commerce, media, and delivery stop behaving like separate products or plugins.

Science lives in one tool; story on a website builder; money on a separate fundraiser

Capture → Compose → Attribute on one media spine, with Impact Records when gifts need provenance

A campaign page that never inherits the sighting, and never proves survey spend

Conservation Story for the public narrative; Impact Records for allocation you can substantiate

GBIF is a vague future intention after the fundraising season ends

Prepare, stage, and Publish under your endorsed Organization from the same survey workspace
