My dream job is to be a in land management, conservation, or habitat restoration.

In college I majored in political science and took enough biology classes to qualify for most biology minors. However, my school did not offer this.

When I graduated, I looked for conservation jobs, but I wasn't able to find one. I ended up using my research and statistical analysis skills from both biology and policy research to get a position as a data analyst. Now I am currently a technical project manager with over two years of experience. I am planning on taking my PMP in the next few months.

I do have a decent amount of volunteer and private experience with trail maintenance, stream renewal, tree removal, and invasive species removal including bamboo, english ivy, and feral hogs. I am proficient with a chainsaw. I have also served on multiple conservation boards.

I want to start looking for a job in conservation, land management, or habitat restoration again. This is going to be an uphill battle with my lack of formal industry experience and the changes the administration has made to both grants and federal hiring.

With these challenges in mind, I am curious what I need to do to give men the best chance. That could be pursuing a masters degree, certifications like burning or pesticide applicator license, or any other recommendations.

Hello, I have recently seen the market for vertical farms, previously I studied the topic of agricultural migration and I did an experiment looking at how to relocate producers in Mexico, seeing the need of the market specifically in Mexico, vertical farming is a good solution for both medium-sized producers and large as for supermarket chains finding a business model, in terms of agricultural producers and areas in drought, vertical agriculture would help them reforest and counteract the drought and for supermarkets, vertical agriculture would definitely help them cut production times and maximize quantity of production, the vertical agriculture market is increasing and according to climate and population growth forecasts for the coming decades it will be an important market

Hello everyone,

For my final dissertation, I am conducting a study on "The Environmental Impact of Bitcoin".

This survey will take less than 2min to complete (available in English, Français, and Español).

Thank you in advance to everyone who takes the time to fill it out.

Every opinion matters!

Have a great day

The pine in Spain has been used for its rapid growth in massive single-crop afforestations, something that is an aberration.

It is true that just as in Galicia the eucalyptus is worse, since the pine is at least native, it continues to cause numerous problems.

In my experience planting pine in nature, it is a base or a springboard for other species, planted separately to avoid the effect of a sterile pine forest, and together with other tree and shrub species to create a correct understory.

Hello Yall, I'm building a library that contains all the resources an environmental scientist / engineer may use one day in their career. It's just beginning, and many more subjects are needed. Please join to help it grow, and post your favorite resources so I can add them to the library contents

Doesn't it further prove that the creation of earth is meant to be consumed by humans (consume but not destroy) given that humans does not truly take part in life cycles of the ecosystem? In short, ecosystem serves humans. Then claiming 'earth is better off without humans' is utterly invalid as the planet would not be able to fulfill its sole purpose of inhabiting humans

Plants used for bioremediation could be converted into fossil fuels to be put back into depleted fossil fuel deposits. The soil or water contaminants that the plants absorbed would be stored in whatever fossil fuel they have been converted into. I feel like this idea could be a game changer.

The technology to convert biomass (like plants used for bioremediation) into fossil fuels already exists

What do you think?

For my 30th birthday this year I am planning to have friends come and help me restore the woods and stream i played in as a kid and make it less degraded.

Over the last many years it has been subjected to flooding and overflow due to runoff from a nearby road, and it has left its toll on the stream itself and the woodland soil surrounding it.

Photos and details of the damage are found here https://imgur.com/a/9nzfyQh

If you have any expertise in this sort of thing I would really appreciate your advice!

Hello! I live in Canada and was hoping to work on some conservation/restoration efforts. The only issue is... I don't know where to start in terms of learning. I'm very new to this, and would love some advice from more knowledgeable people. How would you recommend getting started? Any sources/links or steps to take? Should I reach out to specific professionals? Thanks so much!
