Well, I work as a wildlife biologist studying endangered birds, bats, fish, reptiles and amphibians. Occasionally we work with declining/endangered mammals as well. I have a degree in zoology. You can major in wildlife stuides, zoology, biology, or wildlife management to get such a job. Job options might be working with a government agency, a non-profit, an environmental consultant firm, a university, or a museum..or a zoo, if you changed your mind.
You help the wildlife to grow and stuff.


I know that they work for organizations or rich people who think that they care or really do but don't try.


You could join up with a company that specialize in wildlife.
First of all, it's great that you want to major in wildlife conservation. Not enough people care about it.


Conservation deals with the protection as well as sustainable utilization of natural resources.


Conservation includes looking at wildlife in their natural habitat (forests, mountains, you name it we're there!), out of their natural habitat (zoos, captive breeding program), and other aspects such as wildlife crimes (illegal trade, poaching), public awareness, etc.


I majored in conservation and I now work for an NGO dealing in wildlife trade. My classmates are now working as researchers, in national park, in government agencies, or universities all over the country. The possibilities are endless, as long as you're up for it.


I hope you do choose this field. I think you will find it most rewarding.
