Our process

When two sources on Wild Travel disagree, we say so plainly rather than picking the tidier one, from what we see. For what it is worth, we would rather publish one straight piece on Wild Travel than five that pad a word count. Honestly, our method is unglamorous: read, check by hand, cut whatever we cannot support.
