A page for every species on the planet

Can you provide a few images to help build the Encyclopedia of Life? It is an incredible global partnership between the scientific community and the general public to record every species on the planet, about 1.8 million. (This is NOT the type of image they are looking for.) As of late August, almost 40% of EOL’s 33,000 images are from five photographers: from Portugal, Australia (2), Spain and Austria. You can see a showcase of the best here.

If you want to provide images you agree to do so under a Creative Commons license, so be sure to read the Licensing Policy first. I suggest selecting CC‐BY‐NC (Attribution‐NonCommercial).  Start by viewing the instructions on contributing photos via the EOL Flickr group on their How To Slideshow. There are 18 slides; open to full screen mode. Let me know if you decide to participate and what you will be contributing. I am going to submit some shots of the friendly, small white lizards that hang out by our front door.
