Overview

Ecologists work to protect natural environments and habitats. Their research is essential to understanding the relationship between plants and animals, how different ecosystems are structured, and how human activities impact the places they call home. From this, they develop conservation strategies that tackle the most pressing global, environmental challenges. Could you use your passion for nature and conservation to help protect wildlife and their habitats?
