wildlife biologist
Animal ecology expert
A wildlife biologist studies wild animals and their ecosystems—their behavior, populations, habitats, and interactions with the environment.
The work ranges from tracking endangered species to managing game populations to assessing environmental impacts: Wildlife biologists tagged the wolves to monitor their movements.
Most work for government agencies, universities, or conservation organizations.
