I 100% agree; scientific data should be completely available to the public. Transparency is just an all around a good practice, but more importantly, conservation efforts rely on collaborative range maps (I am a coordinator for FrogWatch USA and I contribute to these range maps). But that does beg the question: how do we make sure this information isn't used irresponsibly? An entire species could be wiped out because of what information is made available; how do we make sure that doesn't happen?
