Visual communication means we’re all speaking the same language. Do you know of any conservation tech or general science graphics libraries?

I find them helpful for presentations, posters and online content.

Here are two I know of:

1. Australian National Environmental Science Program Graphics Library

A free collection of over 250 high quality graphical symbols developed to better represent northern Australia in science communication products. Conceived to effectively deliver project research messages to key partners and end-users, they have also been released publicly and are being taken up in diverse fields and in exciting and unexpected ways. The range and diversity of symbols, including monitoring technologies, plants, animals and scientists, are fostering inclusive two-way communication.

Graphics available include camera traps, audio traps and mammals with GPS collars. I have attached

To download the free symbols you need to create an account. Registration is free and takes one minute!

2.  University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) Media Library

The UMCES Integration and Application Network Graphics Libraries currently contain 3075 custom made vector symbols designed specifically for enhancing science communication products with diagrammatic representations of complex processes. You can download them individually, or as an entire package in AI, SVG, or PNG formats.

Graphics available include a Scan Fish, Continous plankton recorder and a scientist taking monitoring notes.

The IAN/UMCES Symbol and Image Libraries are provided completely cost and royalty free for any use, with attribution.
