Welcome to Ecology Blueprints, where wildlife and human ecology meet. This blog celebrates the wonder of nature, exploring the wildlife that thrives in our oceans, skies, cities, and wild spaces. Whether you’re here to learn, build, or be inspired, you’re in the right place. At OBDK, we believe every space should be a classroom, so you’ll find our Conservation in a Box blueprints on this page—real tools for real-world stewardship.
Marine mammals like whales or seals spend quite a lot of time underwater, even though they breathe oxygen as we do. How are they able to hold their breath for so long? .
Have you ever wondered what roles carnivores and herbivores play in their environment?.
Within North America, there are seven different species of raccoon. Raccoons are highly adaptable animals, which has allowed them to thrive in cities and suburbs.

When it comes to ensuring an animal population stays healthy, what are some of the biggest ways humans can help? .
In the west, food isn’t very plentiful in the fall, so these bears will start their hibernation process in September or October.
When it comes to recovering a species that is threatened in the wild, genetic diversity is a major factor to look at. A lack of genetic diversity puts the entire population at risk because it causes future generations to become weaker.
