Careers in conservation biology
Hey guys- environmental studies undergrad here.
I’m strongly gravitating toward conservation biology as a career. Currently in my undergrad program I don’t feel like I’m getting the hands on experience I’m really looking for and needing to go into the field.
I’m extremely passionate about conservation and really want to immerse myself in as much knowledge and experience as I possibly can in this lifetime. I want to travel all over the world and work with all different kinds of wildlife and just see where it takes me. I don’t feel like the program I’m in is preparing me for that.
Yeah I can pass a class, but how can I further enrich my learning so that I can feel confident and well versed in a variety of topics relating to conservation, biology, ecology, animal behavior, as well as keep up with global climate change? I know education is a huge part of conservation, so I want to know my stuff.
I feel like there’s so much to learn it’s a bit overwhelming, and hard to know which path the take. Do I save the birds, the bees, the trees? Or the bears? Or the butterflies!?
What experiences have you all had in and out of the field? Any advice or guidance or shared experiences are much appreciated!
