What field of study do i need to have to work in wildlife conservation?

I am trying to prepare myself for college but i dont know what to major in so i can become a wildlife conservationist. Any help?What field of study do i need to have to work in wildlife conservation?
Geography and environmental studies...keep up with the sciences...What field of study do i need to have to work in wildlife conservation?
Take your biology courses, and maybe some geology would help out.


At the University of Tennessee in Knoxville we have a Wildlife and Fisheries Science program along with Forestry. Most other colleges should have something like that. Philosophy, English, and Psychology courses are also good to have on your resume for some wild land jobs.





Volunteer hours at your local or state park too. That will give you experience and prepare you for future endeavors. Experience is everything.
I work for the wildlife department and the degree i'm taking is a double major in wildlife biology it's a bachelors. and conservation departments will hire with this degree most want at least a bachelors.
When I was at Cornell U., you could major in Wildlife Conservation. I suspect that you can do the same at other universities. If this is not feasible, try a zoology major.
