Ecologist

Ecologists study the relationships between living organisms and their environment. Their work helps to protect and conserve the natural world by monitoring habitats, conducting surveys, and advising on the ecological impact of new developments. Ecologists often spend time both in the field collecting data and in the office analysing results and writing reports. Their findings are crucial for environmental planning, wildlife conservation, and managing natural resources. Many ecologists work for environmental consultancies, government agencies, conservation charities, or research institutions.
