My recommendation; DO NOT allow location.
The MOST important aspect of wildlife preservation is to protect the animal, insect, fish or reptile and their natural environment.
May not matter much with fish or insects... and animals are protected from hunting regulations... but still need to maintain their secret locations, especially if they are abundant in population.
However, reptiles are CERTAINLY are very-very important to maintain their locations hidden. Some of us are field herpers and we are sensitive to the natural environment of our finds. Broadcasting exact locations will bring poachers interested in catching, then selling various highly sought after species.
The location of finds I produce are known only to me and my wife... together we seek rattlesnakes, photograph... take video... and release them back to their natural habitat exactly where we found them, unharmed..
Please DO NOT allow locations in your application.
General location as in southern CA, East Coast, Florida Everglades, Sierra Mountains etc will probably suffice.
