Conservation Biologist

A conservation biologist works to protect and manage the natural environment, including plants, animals, and entire ecosystems. Their main aim is to prevent species from becoming extinct and to ensure the sustainability of habitats. This often involves fieldwork, such as monitoring wildlife populations, assessing habitats, and collecting data. Conservation biologists also work in labs and offices, analysing data, writing reports, and developing conservation plans. They may collaborate with governments, charities, and local communities to promote awareness and influence policy. The role is both challenging and rewarding, offering the chance to make a real difference to the planet.
