Fieldwork is often an important aspect of research in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology (EECB), but individuals of marginalized identities are likely to experience compromised wellness. The responsibility for structurally changing fieldwork to improve experiences and outcomes falls on the entire EECB community. We propose a Fieldwork Wellness Framework to replace traditional fieldwork approaches, which are hazardous and ill-suited to today's increasingly diverse EECB community and its goals. The purpose of this Framework is to prevent and manage risk while also promoting holistic well-being for all field research participants. We outline nine facets of the Framework: acknowledge and address identity, create a code of conduct, promote and practice self-care, form local connections, use support structures in decision making, host and attend trainings, address financial concerns, enact emergency plans, and debrief. By centering wellness in the planning and performing of fieldwork, EECB can cultivate a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, healthy, and productive community.
