Encyclopedia of Life (EOL)

The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is a collaborative online platform that aims to document and share comprehensive information about all known living species on Earth. It gathers data from scientists, museums, and other organizations to create detailed, accessible profiles—including descriptions, images, and classification for each species. EOL helps researchers, educators, and the public to better understand biodiversity and the interconnectedness of life. Its goal is to serve as a global, freely available resource that promotes awareness and conservation of Earth's diverse organisms.
