European Wildlife Documentation Project

Quiet observations of wild Europe.

An independent archive documenting mammals, birds, habitats and field research across Northern and Central Europe.

We collect notes, images, and seasonal data on species such as Arctic fox, Eurasian lynx, moose, reindeer and migratory birds. The project emphasizes long-term observation and minimal disturbance.

About the project

A long-term archive for European habitats and species.

Since 2019, Nordic Wildlife Archive has been building a visual and textual record of wildlife in Scandinavia, the Alps, and the Baltic region. We work with field researchers, volunteers, and local communities.
