# Appendix I: Letters of support
Letter of support from scientific experts
We've asked scientists to write letters of support to substantiate our scientific decisions in this methodology. Specifically:
* **Biodiversity scientists**. Biologists and specialists in entomology, herpetology, ornithologists, marine science, primatology, and apex predators.
* **Advocates.** Organizations with a long track record in preserving species. There are fantastic foundations across the globe with the influence and track record to comment intelligently.
* **Indigenous groups and advocates.** Anthropologists, sociologists, ethicists, linguists, and ethnologists who truly understand the lifestyle, needs, and business practices of Indigenous groups and are capable of advocating for them on a global stage.
Letters are included before in order of submission.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://isbm.savimbo.com/appendices/appendix-i-letters-of-support.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
