@CookeSiobhan @katzyna @Mammals_Suck We've appealed for individual donations for many years. Only 0.000015% of our 5.6 million users make a donation per year, which only covers website costs for c.2 days. We 💚your support but unfortunately GoFundMe would likely only be a short term fix.

@CookeSiobhan @Mammals_Suck @tes Due to the licences we are unable share them via CDs or charge a subscription. We put a lot of effort into trying to encourage individual/user donations over the years but there was very little uptake unfortunately.

@Arkive @WildscreenFest A huge shame to hear about this :(, I first heard about Arkive talked about by David Attenborough on TV when it launched, and it kept growing into an ever more impressive resource. Thank you for all the time and effort that was put into it - it'll be missed.

@GreenBrizzle We're 💔 but we've had no funding for c 5 years & we can't keep plugging the gap. We have/are exploring who we can share the material with but the licences are v restrictive. We'll of course keep a safe copy of this amazing record of life on earth offline in perpetuity.

Planet Earth truly is in a mess. Not only losing species at an alarming rate but now also losing one of the best free online sources of facts, films and photos about them. Sad news.

@CookeSiobhan @Mammals_Suck Thanks for your support. It's our favourite website too. The education resources will be available on @tes for the time being & we hope to put some on Wildscreen.org in the future so teachers and students can still benefit from them.

This is really sad to hear, @ARKive has been an extremely useful resource, and I enjoyed being able to get context and images of animals I was researching. Thanks for your work.

@CatieGR We're 💔. Thanks for your kind words & support. As a charity, we just can't continue without funding to support it.

Terrible news @Arkive, you've been fantastic! As scientists and educators we need to find sustainable ways to support these valuable resources! :(

@je_light @Mammals_Suck Hiya, you can get in touch with us at arkive@wildscreen.org. We've been working really hard to find funding & technical solutions for a few years now but we have run out of runway.

This is absolutely terrible news. @Arkive is an incredible resource. I can imagine that the Trustees have explored every avenue to avoid this, so I guess that's that. A gargantuan loss to those of us who use this amazing resource regularly.

@joeparlock Hopefully consumer choice forces energy companies to source from renewables sooner. Vote with your wallet!🤞
