Conservation Biologist

Conservation biologists work to protect and manage the natural environment and its wildlife. Their main goal is to understand how human activities impact ecosystems and to develop strategies that help preserve species, habitats, and biodiversity for future generations. In the UK, conservation biologists may conduct field studies, monitor animal populations, restore habitats, and advise on policy and land management. They often work with government agencies, environmental charities, and research institutions. The role can involve both office-based work, such as data analysis and report writing, and outdoor activities, including surveys and practical conservation tasks.
