Wildlife Biologists have a direct involvement with the well-being of wild animals. As a Wildlife Biologist, you may specialise in a specific animal area such as wildlife management, wildlife law enforcement, environmental education, natural resources management, environmental biology, conservation biology, or research.
Biologists monitoring wildlife populations and habitats will look for the distribution, size, sex, and age of wildlife. They may determine habitat quality and study the effects of weather, disease, habitat alteration, and animals (including humans) on wildlife populations. Techniques used by Wildlife Biologists include radio tracking, aerial surveys, trapping, marking, and computer modelling.
It’s a popular and interesting career with wildlife, and you can get prepared for it by studying our online zoology course.
