The Encylopaedia of Life (EOL)


All romantics know the meaning of life is love... but for those looking for a more academic exploration, look no further than the exciting Encyclopaedia of Life (EOL).
This colossal collaborative encyclopaedia documents all living species known to science. Compiled from existing databases and contributions from experts and non-experts alike throughout the world, it is available free on the internet.
A tall order indeed when you consider there are approximately 1.8 million known species!
This enticing website has a page for each species suitable for the general public but with several linked pages for more specialized users.
The EOL is a rich primary resource for a wide audience including, scientists, conservationists, teachers, and students around the world.
...If only categorising love was that simple!
