Reports are reviewed before they are used publicly. Exact locations and personal contact details are not shown on the public map. Approved public records are generalized before display to protect people, private property, and wildlife.
If you are dealing with an immediate emergency or an active public-safety issue, contact local emergency services or the appropriate wildlife agency first.
