Wildlife savers plot real, verified occurrence records from GBIF, the global biodiversity data network. Geological ones read straight from USGS and the Smithsonian's volcano program. Nothing here is simulated — sparse periods reflect genuinely sparse real activity.

Frequently asked questions

Are the wildlife sightings real?: Yes — they're verified occurrence records from GBIF, not simulated positions.
Is this live earthquake and volcano data official?: Yes — it comes from USGS and the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program, the sources researchers themselves use.
Is a key needed?: No — every saver here uses free, key-less public data.
Is it free?: Yes — free, no download, in your browser.
