How To Unlock The Silver Ecologist Award In Monster Hunter Rise

The Monster Hunter Rise Guild Card Awards system is a clever way to work around the limitations of the Nintendo Switch by introducing an achievement system that the console lacks on a system-wide level. This system rewards you once you reach a certain point in the story or when you perform certain actions, some of them requiring you to truly go out of your way to unlock certain awards.

Among these awards that require quite a bit of work on your part are the Ecologist Awards. These awards come in three different tiers, one more difficult than the other.

The Silver Ecologist Award is the second tier of the Ecologist Awards. To unlock it, you will have to take photos of different Rare Creatures that can be found in select maps. These creatures are way less common than the Hunting Helpers you have to photograph for the Copper Ecologist Award.
