Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Virtual talks given via Zoom about topics including employment in conservation, education and public engagement as well theory behind conservation and global conservation efforts. Completed a project to encourage more young people to enjoy Nature and treat it with respect.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Interesting and I now realise that there are multiple roles involved with conservation, it is not just fieldwork. Insightful to learn this and to be able to take a second look at my career choices.
