What is it like to be a wildlife biologist?

What do you do as a wildlife biologist?

• When i'm older i would love to research animals and their habitats and go travelling to certain places whether that's africa or south america. I don't just want to be in a lab all day studying figures and graphs etc. Is this what a wildlife biologist does or not?

• Answer:

  Wildlife biologists do research that helps us better manage our natural resources. They may specialize in fields such as physiology, genetics, ecology, behavior, disease, nutrition, population dynamics, land use, and pollution. To be a wildlife biologist, you need a college education. Since most wildlife resources and conservation problems relate to people, you need courses in English, history, geography, statistics, and economics, as well as in physical and biological sciences. Communication skills, especially speaking skills, must be part of your training.
