Wildlife Conservation & Ecology Test

The Wildlife Conservation & Ecology Test is a free beginner-level, 15-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests wildlife conservation and ecology — ecosystems, food webs and keystone species, biodiversity and why it matters, the main drivers of biodiversity loss, the IUCN Red List categories, protected areas and habitat corridors, CITES and wildlife trade, human-wildlife conflict, citizen science and ethical wildlife watching, and conservation success stories — written to IUCN, CITES and WWF Living Planet sources for 2026 and 2027. Score 70% or more on its 15 questions to earn a verifiable Wildlife Conservation & Ecology certificate (SOA-WCE). Every question is based on published standards and research — including The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (International Union for Conservation of Nature), Living Planet Report (WWF), Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES Secretariat) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (International Union for Conservation of Nature); Living Planet Report (WWF); Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES Secretariat). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Three skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Ecology Foundations (Ecosystems and food webs, Biodiversity and Keystone species and interactions); Threats and Assessment (Drivers of biodiversity loss, IUCN Red List and Climate and invasive species); Conservation in Practice (Protected areas and corridors, Wildlife trade and law and Community and citizen science). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Wildlife enthusiast or nature lover, Volunteer or citizen scientist, Student of biology or environmental science, Ecotourism traveller or guide and Conservation supporter or donor.

Tier-1 students and alumni have identity hobbies (chess, debate, wine, golf, endurance sport) and share achievement badges widely, a strong organic-reach driver. Passing earns a founder-signed Science of Apps certificate with a credential ID and QR code that recruiters can verify.

The leading drivers are changes in land and sea use (habitat loss), direct exploitation such as overfishing and hunting, climate change, pollution and invasive species, as summarised in major global assessments and the WWF Living Planet Report.

It is the highest risk category before extinction in the wild, meaning a species faces an extremely high risk of extinction based on criteria such as rapid population decline or very small population size.
