About

Wildlife Encyclopedia is edited by An Nguyen, a fullstack developer based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam with a long-standing interest in wildlife and natural history. The project started in 2026. It is a solo, independent site — not a university press, government agency, zoo, or large media company.

That interest is why the encyclopedia exists: clear species pages for general readers, grounded in cited references rather than hype. An Nguyen builds and maintains the site end to end — research workflow, writing and revision, image licensing checks, and engineering. Conservation status, taxonomy, and similar claims are checked against sources such as the IUCN Red List, museums, and taxonomic databases; they are not presented as personal field-biology credentials.

Articles publish under the byline An Nguyen and show a last-updated date. For questions, corrections, or rights issues, email nguyentruongan0919@gmail.com via the contact page.

The site publishes photo-led animal profiles with structured facts, FAQs, and long-form articles, plus journal guides and side-by-side comparisons. Habitat, diet, and family hubs connect related species so readers can move from one question to the next.

Content is written in English for a general audience. Start from the animals index, or open a high-traffic profile such as lion or tiger.

Each animal page combines structured data and editorial prose. Core facts (taxonomy, range, diet, size, conservation status) live in a maintained record; the article expands habitat, behavior, life cycle, and threats in plain language. FAQs are written to match real search questions, not filler.

Before a page is treated as finished, we check that the facts block, article, FAQs, and image captions agree with one another, and that conservation language matches the current IUCN listing we cite. The full method is on Sources & Methodology.

Profiles are revised when a status or population claim changes, when a stronger licensed image replaces a weak one, or when a reader reports an error. Journal guides carry their own published and updated dates.

To request a correction: use the contact page, include the page URL, and describe what should change (ideally with a source). Confirmed fixes are edited into the page and reflected in the “Updated” date on the byline.

The site is written for a general audience: wildlife enthusiasts, students starting a species page, and readers who want a clear answer before they open specialist papers. Use it as a reliable starting point — then follow the citations when you need primary sources.
