CONSERVATION BIOLOGIST | WHAT DOES A CONSERVATION BIOLOGIST DO? | BECOMING A CONSERVATION BIOLOGIST

Conservation Biologists work to protect the natural world through research and observation. This work can be done in office, field, and lab environments, and involves both understanding and minimizing human impacts on nature, particularly on endangered plant and animal species. Conservation biologists conduct environmental studies and impact assessments, work with governments, conservation groups, and landowners to plan and execute restoration projects, collect, analyze, and maintain data obtained through fieldwork and lab studies, research new and innovative strategies for land use that do not impact wildlife, as well as locate and apply for funding related to environmental research and conservation efforts. Day-to-day activities may include studying first-hand various wildlife and relevant ecosystems, on-site data collection, data analysis and management, report writing and review, meetings with colleagues and stakeholders, sample collection and processing, scientific research and design, completing habitat assessments, writing grant applications, and more. A career in conservation biology allows you to be on the front lines of conservation efforts, witnessing firsthand the direct impacts of your work on local ecosystems. You will use your understanding of the environment, wildlife biology, and sustainable development to promote and implement practices that protect endangered species and restore ecosystems that have been impacted by human activity in order to preserve Canada’s natural ecosystem.
