What kind of job could I get with a BS in Wildlife?

I want to work with animals, but what kind of job would I get with this degree? Would it pay well?What kind of job could I get with a BS in Wildlife?
You would be able to get a job such as a biologist, wildlife biologist, or biological technician with US Fish and Wildlife or other government agencies. You can also find work with non-profits, or environmental consultant firms. Most jobs in this field will never make you rich, but you can definitely make a living. Actually environmental consultant firms pay very well compared to government agencies....I have worked for both. Look here for internships, seasonal and volunteer work:

Getting lots of hands-on experience while in school and immediately after will help you get full time permanent work.What kind of job could I get with a BS in Wildlife?
You could find some pretty neat.... internships. Or seasonal jobs. You could find a spot working for a nature center or park.





In the past you could do plenty of work with government Natural Resources/Fish and Game/Wildlife departments, but I have recently been told by a government Wildlife Biologist that most places won't even look at your application anymore unless you have at least a Masters.
No, it wont pay well. At least not most fun jobs. The best paying jobs are with state and federal government. As mentioned you could be a game warden, though that deals mostly with people. You could work for any agency that monitors animal populations such as US Fish and Wildlife or your state agency. There are always zoos and vets, but those are the lowest paying jobs because there is no shortage on volunteers willing to do the work for free.
You could def get a job with the DNR...dept of natural resources (game warden) they can make a pretty good living depending on where you go! Maybe check into some zoos or a vets office.

How do I get a job at a nice zoo or wildlife refuge as an animal caretaker/trainer?

I've always wanted a job as an animal caretaker/trainer (NOT a vet) such as those seen on shows like ';Growing Up'; on Animal Planet. However, I've had a hard time finding out any information about this job, such as the official job title, job requirements, average pay, etc. If there is any information people have from experience, or if anyone knows any resources for additional information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! =)How do I get a job at a nice zoo or wildlife refuge as an animal caretaker/trainer?
You'd be a trainer or a keeper (zookeeper, keeper at a rescue, etc).





Work on getting lots of experience with animals. Before and/or during college see if you can volunteer at a zoo. Most zoos offer opportunities for youth and teens to go to camp, be a camp counselor, or be a jr keeper, etc. See what your local zoo offers. However, if you can't volunteer at a zoo or with exotic animals, work with other animals. Any animal experience is better than none. There are also a couple colleges that have a teaching zoo, so you can get experience as well as an education. A lot of times, zoos will look more at your experience than your degree.





While you may not ';need'; a degree, depending on the zoo you apply to, you should get at least get an Associates (2 yrs); though a Bachelors (4 yrs) or higher would be better. Look through some of the job listings at AZA to see what some of the education requirements to work at a zoo. A degree will also give you an insight to animal behavior, animal husbandry/care, basic vet knowledge, etc (look at some college course catalogs to see what you'll be learning in the classes and what classes you need to take for the degree). Zookeeping is a very competitive field, so any edge your can get over your competition will be helpful.





After you get your degree it still might be hard to get a job right away. You might need to do an internship and/or work some other job (at the zoo or somewhere else) till a position opens up.





Here are some links. I hope they help. Good Luck.

How do I become an animal keeper?


There is no single way to become a keeper, but the more education and hands-on experience you have, the better.





Education鈥?While you鈥檙e in school, learn as much as you can in your science classes. In college, choose a degree program in animal-related fields like biology, zoology, botany, ecology, conservation science, or animal behavior. Take as many different courses in those areas as you can, and graduate with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in your chosen field. (Here鈥檚 a BIG hint: the competition for jobs caring for animals is so strong that you really HAVE to have a college degree these days to be considered.)





Hands-on Experience鈥?Find opportunities to work with animals. Some potential keepers have volunteered assisting Conservation Research scientists and technicians. Sometimes work-study opportunities are available for college students.





What are some other ways to gain animal experience?


Some places to look for volunteer jobs or internships might be:


鈥?Veterinary offices


鈥?Animal training classes (does your dog need obedience training?)


鈥?Local Humane Society


鈥?Local Park Service


鈥?Wildlife rehabilitation centers (like for wolves, bears, big cats, birds of prey, and even bats)


鈥?Animal shelters


鈥?Farms (for domestic animals, or even ostrich, llama, or butterfly farms)


鈥?Pet breeders (those that breed specific kinds of dogs, cats, or horses)


鈥?Horse stables and boarding facilities


鈥?4-H Clubs

Requirements


The conservation and scientific programs in zoos and aquariums have become highly technical and specialized. Although practical experience with animals may sometimes be substituted for academic training, most entry-level keeper positions now require a four-year college degree. Training in animal science, zoology, marine biology, conservation biology, wildlife management, and animal behavior is preferred.

How can I get a wildlife rehabilitation certificate?

Hi,


I was hoping somebody could give me information on how to get a wildlife rehabilitation certificate? I saw online I can take courses from the Animal Behavioral Institute, but how good is something like that? I can't find reviews on the place so I'm not sure it's such a great idea.


Thank you for your help!How can I get a wildlife rehabilitation certificate?
I'd be leery of trying to achieve such an important goal via an online program. This is a very challenging, rewarding field, certainly worthy of determining if this is what you want to do from here on out. If it is, do it right. A few links I hope will help below.





There's some variability from state to state, but by getting a degree or certification through a respected institution such as Tufts, you'll have employment virtually guaranteed in any economic situation. I know several people that do this -- and they are incredible individuals. It's a very rewarding field. Keep up your search, you'll find what works for you. Good luck.How can I get a wildlife rehabilitation certificate?
Amy had a lot of good information on the subject so there is not much I can say. Find a school that has a decent program that you like and you should be gravy.

Are there any slug pellets that are not dangerous to other wildlife?

I have a large very overgrown garden that I would like to do something with but as well as the entire slug population of SE England, (seems like!) we also have hedgehogs, newts and slow worms which I don't want to harm. Is there anything that works on slugs but will not affect the other animals?Are there any slug pellets that are not dangerous to other wildlife?
It's good of you to think of this, and I'm one of the people who thinks slug pellets should be illegal because of the inestimable harm they do to wildlife.





In reading over your message, what stood out was that you have a ';large very overgrown'; garden. This is slug heaven, as you have found out. I honestly think that as you get the garden under control and thin out the plants that are causing the interminable moisture and shade on the ground, you will not only be providing a less lovely place for slugs to live but you will be exposing them to their natural predators. In other words, I think as you attend to your garden the slug population will decrease.





One low-tech solution, if you can stomach it, is to simply pick up the slugs and put them somewhere else, in a bucket full of beer or your mother-in-law's garden. Another solution for any plants you particularly want to keep slug-free, is to use a one-inch ring of sharp sand around the plant. The slugs won't want to cross this. Eggshells have also been recommended, as well as diatomaceous earth, but these latter two items are either in short supply or are expensive. Sharp sand works fine. Make a little hillock of it.





You could also invite anyone you know who has a dog and wants to relocate their hedgehogs to plop the little beasts into your garden.Are there any slug pellets that are not dangerous to other wildlife?
I use nemaslug slug killer, there are lots of reviews of it here: http://www.nemaslug-slug-killer.co.uk/Nemaslug-Reviews.html

Report Abuse

Try sprinkling course sand around where you know the snails are lurking(snails hate sand) or dig a small hole just big enough to stand an empty tin can in a large baked bean can will do fill this almost to the top with beer/ale. Snails love beer (allegedly) they will fall in and drowned. Alternatively use orange skin cut in half snails are also attracted to orange but then cannot escape once inside the half of orange skin.





Other than that encourage the birds into your garden they will soon take care of them as will frogs as ought your hedgehogs.





I hate slugs they make me want to squirm yuck but I dislike using slug pellets for the same reason as you.
I heard that crushed egg shells work, as slugs and snails do not like to crawl over them, whether this works I just don't know.





Also if you make a small hole and sink a small plate into it and them put I think that its larger or is it beer on it apparently the smell will attract snails and slugs to it and then they fall into it and drown.
Go to your local plant centre and ask for a organic slug pellets which are make of a copper solution, i have used these and the added bonus is that they wont harm any other wildlife and when the slugs eat these pellets it stops them feeding and they bury themselves, this prevents the being picked up by passing birds, sorry i cant remember the name but they are great
yes... any slug Bait that contains IRON PHOSPHATE.... Slug-go or Escar-go can be found online.... but there's some available in nursery places as well... just be sure the main ingredient is the IRON PHOSPHATE... it's harmless to kids pets and wildlife... turns to fertilizer if not eaten... fouls up the slugs digestion and they crawl away to die (no slimy bodies to toss out)..... holds up after rain, for a while, too... I have a large hosta garden and I do believe in this stuff!!!.....
I recall that garlic spray works - make your own crush garlic steep in boiling water wait til cold and use directly on plants





I nearly forgot free range chooks are geat in a big garden and they will follow you around as you work picking up all the bugs they can find too
http://www.thegardenersshop.co.uk/organi鈥?/a>





This will do the trick, but you don't want it in the water with the newts.
Yes, organic pellets, a product called Advanced Slug Killer.


Safe for children and pets, birds, hedgehogs and other wildlife. The pellets kill only slugs and snails...
http://youranswers.burn.at


you can get much information in this website, If you will check anyone blue link in website.
No, I actually don't think there is. Sorry.
Nemaslug controls all common species of small to medium sized slugs (up to 8cm - 2.5-3 inches). Start your control regime early and you will be able to target the young slugs growing under the ground feeding on humus.





Nemaslug uses the nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, which was discovered by scientists at the government research institute at Bristol, England.





One application of Nemaslug provides an incredible 300,000 nematodes for every square metre of soil, giving at least six weeks control of slugs. This is generally enough time for seedlings and bedding plants to get well established.





Nemaslug is easy to apply and does not leave any unsightly residues. The majority of the slugs will die underground, so don鈥檛 expect to see dead slugs lying around. Any slugs that do die on the surface or are eaten by birds or hedgehogs will do no harm. The nematode only hurts the slug. Conventional slug pellets make the slug poisonous to our helpful friends so reducing the predator and increasing the need for the pellets.





Apply Nemaslug to moist soil. The soil temperature should be 5潞C (40潞F) or over (this is when plants start to grow). Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd frost; so don鈥檛 worry if the temperature falls after you have applied Nemaslug. Metaldehyde (poisonous to our garden friends) based slug pellets are reported not to be effective below 7潞C.





Potatoes are very susceptible to slug attack later in the season than most other plants. So you can delay applying Nemaslug till 6-7 weeks before harvest, when the tubers are most likely to be eaten by slugs.





';Keen Gardeners across the UK are reaping the benefits of this miraculous discovery鈥?you won鈥檛 be disappointed.'; RHS The Garden May 2006





Unlike some controls, Nemaslug continues to work well during wet weather - exactly when you need protection against slugs!


Nemaslug can be kept in the fridge for up to three weeks before application so if you can鈥檛 apply immediately you can hold until you are ready to apply.

Getting rid of forests and wildlife for more population and better economy? Is this a bad thing?

Ok.. I think that getting rid of forests and everything like that is a good thing.. it makes room for new developments, subdivisions, and stores.. why is that bad? I mean, i'm not saying rip out every single forest and wildlife area in America.. but why are so many people so protective about this subject? It makes bigger population, more business, basically better economy. What do you think? Don't get mad at my opinion, I would just really like to know how you feel about this.Getting rid of forests and wildlife for more population and better economy? Is this a bad thing?
You have two reasons here the way I see it.





One is that undisturbed nature is a gift and should be taken care of to great extremes. The beauty of nature can never be replaced once it has been destroyed.





The other thing is it's much harder for governments to exert influence and control over the masses when they are spread out over a larger area. This should also include the distribution of services and resources such as water and electricity become more expensive over larger areas as well.





I'm sure there are other reasons I could think of as well. Also, personally, I think the destruction of wide open spaces and nature beyond what the race of man has already done would be a shame, imho anyway.Getting rid of forests and wildlife for more population and better economy? Is this a bad thing?
I have two words for you: Soylent Green. It's a movie, get a copy and you won't ask that question again. That movie is more eloquent than any words anyone could write.
Trees do two things ... they provide building materials and they create oxygen from carbon dioxide.


You can grow more trees, if you don't cover all the land with buildings.


The people who make timber for a living do that they grow the trees and harvest the materials. Since it take years to grow a tree you need to have land.


Contractors do not CARE. They are out for PROFIT ...so they don't care if there are any trees 50 years from now because they will be DEAD.


I suggest MODERATION. DO NOT cut ALL the trees down AND DO NOT build houses on all the land.


This will provide quality of life and quality of the environment.
it would but then all the tree huggers would be up in arms about you destroying mother earth and such. they don't have jobs so they can complain about stuff like that.
Yeah....but what is the quality of people you are making room for. The only population growth in the US comes from immigration, more than half of it illegal immigration. Much of the immigration and almost all of the illegal immigrants are violent criminals. Most of the immigrants go on welfare or use other social services disproportionately.





Is this really who you want to be tearing down those things that make our neighborhoods nice for? Is it fair to tear down the wooded lots and country spaces to put up a bunch of slums?





For more information, check out the urban sprawl section:





http://www.numbersusa.com
well take japan for example, they have all those people on that island right . . . .now take away 40% of that island, but leave the people there, now you have all those people on half of the land they had before. there wont be enough food and stuff, not enough shelter, people will die. . . . .when you rip up forests thats what happens to the animals, its not liek they get uhals and move on over tot he next forest, they have to roam aroudn lookgin for shelter and food. even if you tear down say 1 acre of forest, youve probably made 100 birds homeless, maybe some deer . . .think about it
I don't know about you but I like breathing, no trees or forest no air to breathe.
because less forest area will lower oxygen level and increase global warming. It will also lost it's beauty. Soon the mot beautiful thing we'll have is city's and buildings


(they are beautiful too, but without difference in surroundings we wont be able to see the beauty anymore) and wild life will become extinct. i'm also an animal rights activist so i think killing any animal for profit, economy, or food (it's mainly unnessecairy nowadays) is wrong.

What is the exact difference between a National Park and a Wildlife Sanctuary?

Is the former not owned by the government? Both protect animals, right? - So where's the difference?What is the exact difference between a National Park and a Wildlife Sanctuary?
In the US, a National Park must be designated by law and contain signficant natural features that are more or less unique and deserve to be protected. Most of the time, the feature(s) being protected/promoted is obvious. Along with the feature, everything else in the park is protected and must not be removed, defaced, etc.


A Wildlife Sanctuary is primarily an area where certain wildlife thrives because of conditions of water, land, shelter, location, etc. It may have nothing unique, just stuff that needs saving from being buried under houses and concrete. There are various names (refuge, National Forest) and various rules as to whether people can live in the space, etc.What is the exact difference between a National Park and a Wildlife Sanctuary?
A national park is a reserve of land, usually, but not always declared and owned by a national government, protected from most human development and pollution. National parks are a protected area of IUCN category II. The largest national park in the world is the Northeast Greenland National Park, which was established in 1974.





A wildlife refuge may be a naturally-occurring sanctuary, such as an island, that provides protection for species from hunting, predation or competition. 'Wildlife Refuge' is also one of the many titles given to protected areas, and refers to a geographic territory within which wildlife is protected which is also commonly known as Wildlife Sanctuary . Such wildlife refuges are generally officially designated territories, created by government legislation, though the land itself may be publicly or privately owned. Also, the Chernobyl nuclear accident site has also accidentally become a wildlife refuge.





for more details visit: www.en.wikipedia.org and search for above
national park is a large area where one or several ecosystems exist and where animal species are kept for special educative and recreative interests and Wildlife sanctuary is similar to national park,but is dedicated to protect wildlife
Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area where endangered species are guarded and protected under the law. National Park is more or less like a Zoo.

What is the most exciting wildlife event you have seen for real?

Which one made you feel best (exhilarated) which may be something that seems mundane, a mood thing, or not.





I have never seen a Tiger in the wild. I might be too fearful ? Which can be exciting in the safety of a vehicle.What is the most exciting wildlife event you have seen for real?
African Hunting Dogs.





They are actually the rarest carnivorous animals in Africa, far rarer than lions, cheetahs, leopards, jackals, etc. etc.





I was in a national park in Namibia (the only one I've ever been too) and our guide just stopped as an impala was just standing around staring behind it, looking nervous. Our guide knew something was up so we watched and suddenly out of the bush a pack of hunting dogs just burst out at high speed. We followed them and it was absolutely thrilling. They never caught the impala though.





My brother had been to 5 or 6 safaris around Africa and never seen one and we came back to the camp there was a South African guy who had spent 15 years wondering around nature reserves and safari in Africa and never seen one. He was so intensely jealous that we had seen this pack that it really brought home to me how lucky we had been.What is the most exciting wildlife event you have seen for real?
A lizard hungrily devouring a spider.
As a teenager I was standing waiting for a friend, close to a privet hedge. I was looking at a spider web and at that moment a fly flew into the web. I watched the spider run ou, wrap the fly in silk and take it away. Then the spider came back an diligently repaired its web. Its hardly big game, by I was mesmerised by it and priviledged to see it. :D
my mum and dad, rutting
A load of minkie whales around a boat in the sound of Eigg off the west coast of Scotland with a few harbour porpises joining in too. It was amazing.
For me it would have to be spotting golden eagles in Scotland on a number of occasions. They are truly majestic birds of prey and I could sit and watch them all day. We are lucky to have them in Scotland and did you know that we have one of the best populations of the bird in the world!
In the Wild I have seen Bears, a Wolf, and a Cougar, as well as Deer, Bighorn sheep, and several types of hawks and eagles. I think UI liked the eagles best. Definitely not the Bears, Wolf or Cougar, as I was on foot at the time.
For a while I worked in South Africa - the most exhilerating moment was the first time I did game capture.





In my 'real life' I'm a marketing exec but the rest of the guys on the team thought I was a vet from Britain wanting some big game experience, so they gave me a syringe, and bottle of Haliperidol (the animal sedative we were using) and told me this side of the hill was mine. They b*ggered off, and I hid under a bush waiting for the animals to arrive.





It was very tense, then we heard the sound of the helicopter blades as it drove the animals towards us... suddenly mountain reedbuck (a type of antelope) were jumping over my hiding place running in to the nets we'd laid - everybody ran and jumped on the struggling animals, and I first pinned down my own animal before injecting in to the muscle in the neck, then went round everyone else's kicking and struggling animals with the drug.





I can't tell you how amazing it felt when I'd successfully completed my first catch!





P.S. The animals were treated very well - they were on a farm, eating the food the farmer was leaving out for his livestock, and if we hadn't caught them the farmer would have probably shot the animals. The animals were treated for any wounds and parasites, then sold and released on to a game reserve they would be protected from human threats and a source of joy to tourists.





P.P.S. While mountain reedbuck aren't huge (an adult male will weigh around 30 kilos), the males have horns and will put up quite a struggle - trying to kick, bite and gore you (the females will just kick and bite).

a pack of lioness's feeding on a gazelle in Africa on Friday.
when i lived in zambia, a python came into our house that was pretty scary, a rhino decided to stand right in front of our car, i got to hold a baby croc and i was approached by a baby antelope, we are not quite sure what breed. But i saw it twice and the second time it came right up to me and knocked me over, i was only young but i still remeber it vividly. These all happened within a spread of about 3 years.


i was lucky enough to be allowed into the tapir enclosure in the zoo , i love tapirs there are so funny and intrestin also they are not like animals every1 knwos bout like lions and tiger and zebras etc. they are unusual.





When i was in american 3 years ago i saw golden eagles, chipmunks,elephant seals, otters, seals, sealions ( all in the wild ,lol)


in yosemite and yellowstone: i saw a moose about 3 meters away, lots of bison, birds,insects, sadly no bears.


i also feed a dolphin in sea world. And lots of other fishes in monterray aquarium


I saw loads of other animals in wyoming where i stayed at a ranch for a week and a bit. ( i was going around california and surroundinh states)





And today i saw mi dog, he is pretty wild and two cats fighting in the street and a robin singing and a spider (which i took outside) i dont see y anyone could be scared of them. And that is bout all so far. All you have to do is look.





Oh and dont be fearful of tigers, they wont attack from the front unless u provoke them, they always attack from behind . that is why some natives there wear masks of the back of their heads so the tiger doesnt attack them. apparently it works for the.

i'd love to see a really exotic creature someday but i think the most exciting thing i've ever seen was a short eared owl hunting by day really close to to me. beautiful. i saw it on cleeve hill, gloucestershire, uk
Sorry to sound a bit soft, but I find all wildlife exhilarating. So many wonderful things happening all the time. (Gawd, that sounds dopey).
When I was on a camping trip in college, I saw a peregrine falcon capture a duck from a nearby pond. It carried the duck out onto the road in front of our van and landed in the road. The duck was still alive, and trying to escape, and eventually the falcon carried it off the road to kill and eat it. A peregrine falcon in a stoop (the hunting dive) is the fastest animal on earth, and they used to be endangered. It was really amazing to see.

About 4 years ago I spent several weeks travelling in South Africa,- operating from Durban - the most beautiful country I have ever visited. I made several visits to the reservation areas and was always in awe of all the wildlife I was fortunate to get near, be it, Lions, Giraffes, Wild Dogs, Baboons , Elephants, Hippos etc, etc I will always remember that wonderful experience and the lovely Zulu people.
