The document provides an overview of the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) including its goals, typical content, statistics, and role of fellows. EOL aims to create a page for every known species combining scientific information with public enthusiasm. It currently has over 1.9 million pages from 60 partners and seeks to grow further as new species are discovered. The EOL Fellows program supports early career scientists to engage with the project and help improve content.
