Free Ecology and Wildlife Tools

These are the free tools I have built for ecologists, wildlife biology students and anyone who spends time watching animals properly. They are all free, none of them ask for an email address, and they run in your browser.

Random Animal Generator

Pulls a random species and its key facts. Useful for teaching, quizzes and getting unstuck when you need a subject to write or film about.

Ecology Flashcards

Self test on the core ecology vocabulary you need for exams and interviews, from trophic levels to niche partitioning.

Wildlife Lifespan Calculator

Compare how long animals live in the wild against captivity, and see what drives the gap.

Wildlife Experience Resume Rewriter

Turns volunteer work, field courses and casual survey days into the language hiring managers in conservation actually look for.

Glossary of Ecology Terms

More than 1,500 ecology terms defined in plain language, with the context you need to use them correctly.

Branches of Ecology

A map of the subdisciplines, from population and community ecology to landscape and molecular ecology, and what each one studies.

Birdwatching Log

A structured log for recording sightings properly, with the fields that make your records usable later.

ESG Score Calculator

A quick environmental, social and governance score for anyone working on sustainability reporting.

ESG Report Template

A starting structure for an ESG report, with the sections assessors expect to find.

Where to go next

If you are studying, start with the ecology guides. If you are building a career, the wildlife careers section covers salaries, degree programmes and how to get field experience without paying for it.
