Ecology Blueprints

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.

Good Ecology. Better Outcomes.
