Using these well
- Pair every session with a real, sourced species record so the group is working with an actual animal or plant rather than a general idea.
- Do not quote population figures from memory. Read them from a profile with its verification date, or leave them out.
- Say out loud, at least once, that Pango is a drawing and the pangolin is real.
