Share Your Knowledge. Document Wildlife and protected areas.

Build Something That Lasts.

We are building Wildlife Navigator with a simple idea:

  • Reliable wildlife information should be accessible, understandable, and built on careful research.
  • To make that happen, we are opening Wildlife Navigator to contributors from around the world.
  • You don’t need to be a professional writer to contribute.
  • If you are a wildlife researcher, biologist, naturalist, conservationist, photographer, birdwatcher, zoology student, field enthusiast, park specialist, environmental professional, or simply someone with genuine knowledge and experience in a particular wildlife subject, we’d like to hear from you.

Why Contribute to Wildlife Navigator?

Wildlife knowledge exists in many places — in research, field notes, photographs, local knowledge, professional experience, academic work, observations, and years of personal interest. Our goal is to bring some of that knowledge together in one accessible platform.

By contributing to Wildlife Navigator, you can:

Share your knowledge with a global audience.

Help improve the quality of wildlife information available online

Build a public portfolio of wildlife-related work

Receive a contributor profile on Wildlife Navigator

Be credited for your contribution and expertise

Publish your work under your own name.

Connect your work with a growing independent wildlife info platform

Showcase your field experience and expertise

Contribute to species and protected-area documentation

For students and early-career professionals, contributing can also provide an opportunity to demonstrate your research, writing, observation, and communication skills through published work.

For experienced professionals, it can be a way to share knowledge that may otherwise remain limited to field notes, presentations, personal archives, or professional circles.

Who Can Become a Contributor?

We welcome contributors from different backgrounds and levels of experience. If you’ve spent years studying, observing, photographing, documenting, or learning about a particular species, ecosystem, or protected area, your knowledge may be valuable to our readers. What matters most is the quality and reliability of the information you contribute.

You may be:

  • Wildlife Researchers: Researchers with knowledge of particular species, ecosystems, conservation subjects, or wildlife-related studies.
  • Naturalists & Field Observers: People who have developed substantial knowledge through field observation and experience.
  • Wildlife Photographers: Photographers who want to contribute original wildlife photographs, field notes, species information, or complete editorial articles.
  • Conservation Professionals: People working in conservation, protected areas, environmental organisations, research institutions, or related fields.
  • Experienced Wildlife Enthusiasts: You don’t necessarily need an academic title or professional designation.
  • Biologists & Zoologists: Professionals and students with academic or practical knowledge of animal biology, taxonomy, ecology, behaviour, or related fields.
  • National Park & Protected-Area Specialists:
    People with detailed knowledge of national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, reserves, preserves, conservation areas, or other protected landscapes.
  • Birdwatchers & Bird Researchers: Experienced birders and ornithologists who can contribute species knowledge, observations, identification information, behaviour, distribution, or field-based insights.
  • Students & Early-Career Professionals: Students and emerging professionals with genuine knowledge, research interests, field experience, or well-researched ideas.

Contribute as a Volunteer

Whether you’re a researcher documenting a species, a naturalist with years of field experience, a photographer with an exceptional wildlife encounter, a student researching conservation, or someone with detailed knowledge of a national park — your contribution could help make wildlife information more useful and accessible.
