Linking to ARKive

We are always pleased for other websites to link to the information and resources on the ARKive website, and there are a number of ways to do so described below.

For administrators of large database-driven sites we also offer a number of XML feeds that are available for data-harvesting and are happy to discuss specific requirements regarding deep linking to ARKive species pages or media. Please email arkive@wildscreen.org.uk for more information.

Linking to a species page

To link to a specific species page in ARKive, find the species you are interested in, then look for the "Link to this page" option in the right hand menu. This gives full instructions on how to easily create a variety of links to that specific page.

The previous two logo options use transparent backgrounds so that they blend with the background of your website. This feature is supported by newer browsers such as Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Safari and Opera, but may appear with a plain grey background for users of older browsers. The following two logo options do not use transparent backgrounds, making them more compatible with older browsers such as Internet Explorer 6.
