About Earth Life
Did you know earthlife.net is one of the oldest sites on the Internet?
Yep.
Earth Life was started way back in 1995 by Gordon Ramel, a professional ecologist. And since that time we’ve helped over 20 million visitors learn more about ecology, zoology, and life on this planet that we share… Earth.
Today we employ a diverse team of biologists, ecologists, zoologists & environmental scientists from around the world – united in our mission to present detailed taxonomic and zoological information in an entertaining and accessible way.
Earth Life has an extensive bibliography; all our articles are thoroughly researched and supported by references & studies. Our writers include ecologists, biologists & environmental scientists, all with extensive experience in their field (& all with a deep passion for the living world!). You can meet some of our team below!
