• I wish! I work as a wildlife biologist who protects endangered species. The most I get to do is report people destroying habitat and getting them fined, or jailed...but physical contact or %26quot;shooting%26quot; them is out of the question. If you are serious and really want to work protecting wildlife.. go to school and earn a degree in biology, zoology, wildlife management , wildlife studies, or something similar. Apply for jobs with US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Fish and Game, US Forest Service, etc. 25% 1 Vote
• You are deputized young man. Feed the animals and help them every chance in life that you get. Evil people should be stopped for the war that they have raged on this planet. You are already capable and willing to help. DO IT !! You do not need governments permission to help. There is so much life that does not call a zoo home. They are out there and waiting for you to help them. 0% 0 Votes

• There are many good conservationist volunteer projects now days you just gotta search the web for something that suits you unfortunately over the past 10 years or so many of these have become like holidays as demand for these is huge and you must pay. Most of these are based in Africa and are very expensive. If that%26#039;s not for you the best thing to do is volunteer locally even in the dog pounds they need volunteers. Its not to hard to find a placement if your committed. Good luck dude oh and don%26#039;t shoot anyone. :) 0% 0 Votes
• I work at a zoo and a good way to get in is to volunteer first, then you will be well placed when a vacany arises, try the rspb reserve or woodland agency or similar. 0% 0 Votes
• This field is pretty complex believe it or not! Nearly every job you can think of has some sort of impact on wildlife and the environment. This means that there are more environmental jobs being created every day. It also means that the field is very complex, and you need to do so research and thinking to figure out what might be the best profession for you.
