The collection behind the camera
Every species is another stamp.
Wildlife photographers collect more than photographs: the first kingfisher you waited hours to capture, the red panda at your favourite zoo, the elephant encounter you’ll never forget.
Every unique wildlife species you photograph becomes a Passport Stamp, creating a growing life list of the animals you’ve captured with your camera.

Wildlife photography happens everywhere.
A remarkable photograph can happen on safari, in a local woodland, at an aquarium or during an afternoon at a zoo. WildPassport welcomes them all because this is about what you have photographed, not judging where you photographed it.
Zoos count. Always.
Zoos, safari parks, aquariums and managed wildlife locations are an equally valued part of your photographic journey.
One species. A lifetime of encounters.

Photographing a species once adds it to your Passport. Photographing it again adds another chapter to its story. One Stamp, with every encounter connected to the same species.
This is where Pro comes in. Free lets you build your first 25-species life list. Pro removes the limit and lets you return to the same species again and again, building its complete history.
More than a species counter
A complete wildlife photography species tracker.
WildPassport connects your wildlife species, photographs, encounters, locations, zoo visits and milestones in one visual life list—without trying to replace your main photo library or turn photography into an admin exercise.
Global wildlife species search
Search an organised global animal taxonomy by common or scientific name, then select the accepted species behind your photograph.
Detailed wildlife species pages
Explore common and scientific names, conservation status, distribution, useful species facts and attributed wildlife photography.
Photographic encounter records
Upload a photograph and record its date, notes, wild or captive status, and either a named place, coordinates or a fully private location.
Wildlife photography statistics
Explore unique species and repeat encounters by year, taxonomy, location and wild or captive status, with progress milestones as your collection grows.
Species identification requests
Upload an unidentified wildlife photograph with useful context and request help when you cannot confidently match it to a species.
Public wildlife Passport
Share a portfolio-like public Passport while deciding which species, encounter dates and location details other people are allowed to see.
A lifetime of return encounters
Keep one Passport Stamp per species while building its photographic history across repeat visits, new dates and different destinations. Choose the primary photograph that represents each species.
A destination tracker linked to species lists
Record every zoo you have visited and watch your total grow. Zoo visits stay separate from the locations attached to your wildlife photographs.
Account, privacy and data controls
Manage your profile and password, export your personal WildPassport data, change sharing preferences or delete your account when you choose.
Private by design
Your photographs. Your locations. Your choice.
Wildlife photography sometimes involves vulnerable species and sensitive locations. Your WildPassport should never force you to reveal more than you want to.
Record useful location information for your own collection, then use granular sharing controls to decide what appears on your public Passport, including species, dates and location information.
Your Passport is your photographic record. You decide how much of it becomes public.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
What is a wildlife photography life list?
A personal record of the wildlife species you have photographed. Instead of simply recording species you have seen, WildPassport focuses on the animals you have captured with your camera.
What information is available on a wildlife species page?
Species pages can include common and scientific names, conservation status, distribution, useful wildlife facts and properly attributed photography. Your own Passport page adds your Stamp, primary photograph and encounter history for that species.
Can I edit or remove a wildlife encounter?
WildPassport Pro members can edit and remove return encounters, replace photographs and choose which encounter photograph represents the species in their Passport. Removing the final encounter also removes that species’ Passport Stamp.
Do zoo photographs count?
Yes. Wildlife photographed at zoos, safari parks, aquariums and other managed wildlife locations can be part of your WildPassport. Wild and captive encounters are both valid parts of your photographic journey.
What is a Passport Stamp?
A Passport Stamp represents a unique species you have photographed. Your first recorded encounter adds that species and its Stamp to your life list.
Is WildPassport really free?
Yes. WildPassport Free lets you add up to 25 species and collect 25 Passport Stamps. You can record one encounter for each species and keep viewing everything you have recorded, even if a Pro subscription ends.
What do I get with WildPassport Pro?
Pro is designed for photographers who want WildPassport to become their permanent wildlife archive. It unlocks unlimited species, return encounters and advanced encounter management across dates and locations.
Can I keep wildlife locations private?
Yes. WildPassport includes flexible location and sharing controls. You decide what information you record and what location details appear publicly, which is especially important for vulnerable species and sensitive wildlife sites.
What if I don't know what species I photographed?
You don't have to guess. WildPassport includes identification requests so photographs that cannot yet be confidently matched to a species don't have to disappear into a forgotten folder.
Can I share my WildPassport?
Yes. You can create a public Passport and use granular sharing controls to decide which species, encounter dates and location information other people can see.
