Wildlife Biologist

A Wildlife Biologist studies and manages animal species and their habitats in the natural environment. You might work in national parks, wildlife reserves, or research institutions. Wildlife Biologists focus on understanding animal behaviour, population dynamics, and the impact of human activities on ecosystems. You’ll conduct field research, collect data, and analyse findings to contribute to conservation efforts and policy development.

Wildlife Biologists play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity. You’ll need to be observant and analytical, with strong communication skills to share your research with the public and other professionals. You’ll collaborate with environmental agencies, conservation organisations, and communities to ensure the protection and sustainable management of wildlife.
