Job in wildlife conservation or conservation biology?
So i know i want to have a job in wildlife conservation or something like that. I would like it to involve travelling all over the world (to Australia, Africa, South America, etc.) to do field studies and stuff. Does anyone know what this job title would be and what degrees I would need in college?
Most conservation biologists usually work at the state level for fish and game departments or they get a job with the National Park Service (Department of the Interior) or the National Forest system (Department of Agriculture). Some have degrees in natural resource conservatuion as well as wildlife biology. The majority of these people usually just have a bachelor’s degree, although some specialists may have a master’s or doctorate.
To work in a more international scope you would have to seek out a university that has specialized research facilities in such areas as marine biology, ornithology, etc. To get this sort of job would require nothing less than a master’s degree–and probably from a prestigious university with international connections.
