Where Wildlife, Humans, & Ecology Meet
Ecology Blueprints explores the interconnected systems that link wildlife, humans, and their habitats—through science, observation, and hands-on learning.
Because no organism exists alone. When you understand food webs, habitat, and pressure, the species make sense. Ecology isn’t about memorizing animals—it’s about understanding relationships and outcomes.
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.
Carrying capacity is the balance between wildlife and the resources they need from their habitat.

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.
Wolves are one of those animals that have had to combat their perceived bad reputation for a long time. People often fear them, thinking they’re a threat when actually the opposite is true.
